Key Features

Five 85-watt-per-channel amplifiers with high-performance digital
power supply
The AVR 1610 high-performance audio/video receiver pumps
out 85 watts per channel to power a full five-channel, networked
surround-sound system. It can also connect to a powered

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 wattage they need
without the weight of traditional power-supply designs and their
heavy transformers. The net result is a great-sounding AVR in a
small form that is friendly to the environment.
