INTRODUCTION 3

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!

With the purchase of a Harman Kardon
AVR 2550 you are about to begin many years of
listening enjoyment. The AVR 2550 has been
custom designed to provide all the excitement
and detail of movie sound tracks and every
nuance of musical selections.With onboard
Dolby* Digital and DTS

†

decoding, the AVR 2550
delivers six discrete channels of audio that take
advantage of the digital sound tracks from the
latest DVD and LD releases and Digital Television
broadcasts.

While complex digital systems are hard at work
within the AVR 2550 to make all of this happen,
hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed
connections and a programmable remote con­trol make the AVR 2550 easy to use. To obtain
the maximum enjoyment from your new receiv­er, we urge you to take the time 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 AVR 2550 is able to
deliver.

If you have any questions about this product, its
installation or its operation, please contact your
dealer. He is your best local source of informa­tion.

Description and Features

The AVR 2550 is among the most versatile and
multi-featured A/V receivers available, incorpo­rating a wide range of listening options. In addi­tion to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digi­tal sources, a broad choice of analog surround
modes are available for use with sources such
as CD,VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR’s own
FM/AM tuner. Along with the latest Dolby
ProLogicII

®

decoding technology, Dolby 3 Stereo,
5 Ch Stereo and custom Hall and Theater modes,
only Harman Kardon receivers offer Logic 7

®

to
create a wider, more enveloping field environ­ment and more defined fly-overs and pans.

Another Harman Kardon exclusive is VMAx

™,

which uses proprietary processing to create an
open, spacious sound field even when only two
front speakers are available.

In addition to providing a wide range of listening
options, the AVR 2550 is easy to configure so
that it provides the best results with your speak­ers and specific listening-room environment.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 2550
features connections for three video devices, all
with both composite and S-Video inputs. Two
additional audio inputs are available, and a total
of four digital inputs make the AVR 2550
capable of handling all the latest digital audio
sources. Coax and optical digital outputs are
available for direct connection to digital
recorders.

The AVR 2550’s powerful amplifier uses
traditional Harman Kardon high-current design
technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of
any program selection.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiv­er more than forty-seven years ago.With state­of-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit
designs, the AVR 2550 is one of the finest
receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon within
its price range.

4 SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety Information

Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your AVR 2550 has been designed for use with
220-240-Volt AC current. Connection to a line
voltage other than that for which it is intended
can create a safety and fire hazard and may
damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or about
the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer
before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord
attached to your unit. We do not recommend
that extension cords be used with this product.
As with all electrical devices, do not run power
cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy
objects on them. Damaged power cords should
be replaced immediately by an authorized
service depot with a cord meeting factory
specifications.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC
outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord.
If you do not intend to use the unit for any con­siderable length of time, disconnect the plug
from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user-serviceable components inside
this product. Opening the cabinet may present a
shock hazard, and any modification to the
product will void your guarantee. If water or any
metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit,
disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized service
station.

Installation Location

■To assure proper operation and to avoid the

potential for safety hazards, place the unit on
a firm and level surface.When placing the
unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and
any mounting hardware can support the
weight of the product.

■ Make certain that proper space is provided

both above and below the unit for ventilation.
If this product will be installed in a cabinet or
other enclosed area, make certain that there
is sufficient air movement within the cabinet.
Under some circumstances a fan may be
required.

■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted

surface.

■Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold

locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.

■Avoid moist or humid locations.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the

top of the unit, or place objects directly over
them.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry
immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use
benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any
other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish
of metal parts.Avoid spraying insecticide near
the unit.

Moving the Unit

Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect
any interconnection cords with other
components, and make certain that you
disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to
protect your new receiver during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration. We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by
carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom
and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard
inserts may be stored in the same manner.
Packing materials that cannot be collapsed
should be saved along with the carton in a
plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging
materials, please note that the carton and other
sections of the shipping protection are
recyclable. Please respect the environment and
discard those materials at a local recycling
center.
