Congratulations! With the purchase
of the Harman Kardon AVR35 you are
about to begin many years of listening
enjoyment. The AVR35 has been custom
designed to provide all the excitement
and detail of movie sound tracks and
every subtle nuance of musical selec-
tions. With on-board Dolby
Decoding, the AVR35 delivers six discrete
channels of audio that take advantage of
the digital sound tracks from the latest
DVD and LV releases, as well as future
HDTV broadcasts.
While complex digital systems are hard
at work within the AVR35 to make all of
this happen, hookup and operation are
simple. Color-keyed connections and a
comprehensive programmable remote
control make the AVR35 easy to use.
To obtain 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 AVR35 is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this
product, its installation or operation,
please contact your dealer. They are your
best local source of information.
