Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!
For more than fifty years, our mission has been to share our passion
for music and entertainment, using leading-edge technology to achieve
premium performance. To this end we invented the receiver, a single
component designed to simplify home entertainment while maintaining
the highest level of quality. Over the years our products have become
easier to use, and have delivered superior value. The AVR 354 multizone
7.1-channel digital audio/video receiver carries this tradition forward,
with some of our most advanced video processing capabilities yet, and
a wealth of listening and viewing options.
