pen, hookup and operation are simple.
Color-keyed connections and a compre-
hensive programmable remote control
make the AVR5 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 AVR5 is able to deliver.

Description and Features
The AVR5 is a full-featured A/V receiver,
incorporating a wide variety of listening
options. In addition to Dolby
*
Pro Logic
*
and Dolby 3 Stereo, with “6-Channel
Direct” inputs, the AVR5 is ready for the
future. The AVR5 is digital ready, and
may be connected to an optional, exter-
nal digital decoder, or the outputs of a
DVD player, Digital TV or any product
that has its own Dolby Digital or DTS
†
decoder. 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 provide for
the utmost flexibility. Front-panel A/V
inputs simplify connections to video
games or camcorders. A high-quality
phono input is available so that you may
continue to enjoy your existing record
collection as well as the latest surround
technologies.
The AVR5’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 high-
fidelity receiver more than forty-five years
ago. With state-of-the-art features and
time-honored circuit designs, the AVR5 is
one of the finest receivers ever offered by
Harman Kardon.

Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used
to protect your new receiver during ship-
ment 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 down to a more two-dimensional
appearance. 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.
