Congratulations! With the purchase
of a Harman Kardon AVR75 you are
about to begin many years of listening
enjoyment. The AVR75 has been custom
designed to provide all the excitement
and detail of movie soundtracks and
every subtle nuance of musical
selections. With on board Dolby* Digital
Decoding, the AVR75 delivers six discrete
channels of audio that take advantage of
the digital soundtracks from the latest
DVD and LD releases.
While complex digital systems are hard
at work within the AVR75 to make all of
this happen, hook-up and operation are
simple. Color-keyed connections, a
comprehensive remote control and on-
screen menus make the AVR75 easy to
use. To obtain the maximum enjoyment
from your new receiver we urge you to
take a few minutes to read through this
manual. This will ensure that
connections to speakers, source playback
units and other external devices are
made properly. In addition, a few
minutes spent learning the functions of
the various controls will enable you to
take advantage of all the power the
AVR75 is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this
product, its installation or operation,
please contact your retailer or custom
installer. They are your best local source
of information.

Description and Features
The AVR75 is a full-featured A/V receiver,
incorporating a wide variety of listening
options. In addition to Dolby Digital
decoding, Dolby Pro Logic* and Dolby 3
Stereo are available for compatibility
with the tens of thousands of movies and
television programs encoded with analog
surround information. A choice of Hall,
Matrix and Movie modes is also available
for use with both encoded sources and
traditional two-channel stereo
recordings.
A total of five audio/video inputs, each
with both composite and S-Video, as well
as three additional audio only inputs are
selected through a learning remote
control and an easy-to-read front panel
display or on-screen graphics through a
TV monitor.
The AVR75's powerful amplifier uses
traditional Harman Kardon High Current
design philosophies to meet the wide
dynamic range of any program selection.
Harman Kardon invented the high-
fidelity receiver over forty years ago. With
state-of-the-art circuitry and time-
honored circuit designs, the AVR75 is
undoubtedly the finest receiver ever
offered by Harman Kardon.
