Key Features

Five 75-watt-per-channel amplifiers with high performance
digital power supply
The AVR 1510 high-performance audio/video receiver pumps out
75 watts per channel to power a full five-channel surround-sound
system. It can also connect to a powered subwoofer to provide
enhanced low-frequency performance for all your entertainment.
While the amplifiers retain the time-tested Harman Kardon high-
current-capacity (HCC) ultrawide-bandwidth design to ensure the
most accurate, dynamic sound with enhanced clarity and realism
– even at the highest listening levels, a digitally based power supply
gives the amplifiers all the muscle they need without the weight of
traditional power-supply designs and their heavy transformers. The net
result is a great-sounding AVR in a smaller form that is friendly to the
environment.
More ways to connect
The AVR 1510 can connect to compatible Apple devices, such as the
iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, directly via its front-panel USB jack and
play their content without the need for an external adapter. The AVR is
also DLNA 1.5 compliant, which gives you more options for delivering
content over your home network.
Built-in vTuner Internet radio
The AVR 1510 features vTuner technology to connect you to a whole
world of online audio entertainment. As soon as it's out of the box, you
can stream over-the-air radio stations from around the globe as well as
stream from a wide range of Internet-only radio stations.
Four 3D-ready HDMI inputs
Four HDMI inputs with 3D and 30/36-bit Deep Color deliver high-
definition digital video at resolutions up to 1080p with full-fidelity
audio through a single cable. There is no loss of video or audio quality
because of format conversion, just full-impact Hollywood excitement
as its creators meant you to experience it. And because it features 4K
pass-through, your low-resolution videos will be upscaled to present
you with the highest possible picture quality for your HDTV.
Front-panel USB port for connection to Apple products or
USB sticks
The AVR 1510 gives you more options for audio playback with its
front-panel USB port. Simply connect an iPhone, iPad or USB stick to
play your stored tracks through your home entertainment system.
Multiroom system with audio output and assignable amplifier
Control the audio in separate rooms with a single receiver. Thanks to
the AVR 1510's assignable amplifiers, you can power the audio in a
second room without adding additional components. That means you
can watch sports in one room while you play the soothing sounds of
classical music in another.
Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding
The AVR 1510 delivers high-resolution audio that matches the digital
video quality of Blu-ray Disc
™
movie soundtracks formatted with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master
Audio coding. No matter what mode or mood you are in, you'll always
hear audio playback at its finest.
