INTRODUCTION
You are now the owner of an instrument unique in concept and design.
The
Harman/
Kardon Model 900
+
multichannel
receiver encompasses
the best
of all forms of
music
reproduction. It may be installed
as
a stereophonic re-
ceiver capable of delivering clean, articulate sound
at
moderate power levels,
or as a quadriphonic receiver that con fill your listening room with
spacious,
three dimensional sound.
When
you
listen to your new Harman/Kardon multichannel receiver you
will instantly recognize that
something
truly phenomenal is toking place
.
The
sound, which normally em erges from the speaker boxes, will lose its boundaries
and will
emanate
fram all over the room recreating the scope, depth and
breadth of the concert hall. The walls of your listening room will seem to dis-
appear and you
will
find yourself surrounded by a sound field that hos the
some
ambience ond
spaciousness
which marks a live performance. Stereo-
phonic balance and perspective will be retained, but now
there
will be
the
addition of depth which will proiect you into the middle of the hall. Applause,
for
example,
will emerge from the front, sides and rear. And during playback
of a live concert don't be too startled if you hear someone coughing or rustling
his program from behind you.
The 4-channel medium is even
more
dramatic for contemporary music, espe-
cially if the music was originally written for four channel reproduction. Sounds
bounce back and forth from the corners of the room involving you completely
with the performance. It's a new and exhilarating kind
'
of sound that will make
listening to music a new experience
.
The 900
+
bears the heritage of the Harman/Kardon trademark - ultra-
wideband frequency response, virtually immeasurable distortion and all of
the required conveniences so essential for the ultimate enjoyment of high
fidelity reproduction.
We urge you to read this manual carefully prior to installing and operat-
ing your receiver. The 900
+
is not a complicated instr,ument. However, there
are certain aspects of its operation which
should
be understood clearly before
you install and operate it.
Happy listening!
