Introduction

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 selections. With on-board Dolby*Digital 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.

Description and Features

The AVR35 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 and Theater modes is also available for use with both encoded sources and traditional two-channel stereo recordings.

A total of four audio/video inputs, as well as two additional audio-only inputs, and an FM stereo/FM/AM tuner are available for the utmost flexibility. Front-panel A/V inputs simplify connections to video games or camcorders.

The AVR35’s powerful amplifiers use traditional Harman Kardon High-Current Design philosophies to meet the wide dynamic range of any program selection.

Harman Kardon invented the highfidelity receiver more than forty-five years ago. With state-of-the-art features and time-honored circuit designs, the AVR35 is one of the finest receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.
