Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon
In the years since Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver, we
have taken to heart the philosophy of bringing the joy of home entertain-
ment to as many people as possible, adding performance and ease-of-
use features that enhance the home entertainment experience. In the
years since our first single-channel component was introduced, Harman
Kardon has offered a number of receiver models, each an improvement
upon its predecessors, leading to the AVR 145, a 5.1-channel digital
audio/video receiver that offers a wealth of listening and viewing options,
all in an elegant package.
