HIGH-CURRENT CAPABILITY

To understand the importance of high-current capability,we first need to know what an amplifier really does in relation to a loudspeaker. An
amplifier provides current (measured as amperes) to a loudspeaker.That’s why it’s called an “amplifier,”and not a “wattifier.” Fluctuations in
current constitute the audio signal. The loudspeaker uses this current to make its cones or domes move the air in the listening space.This
is how we experience sound, and the ability of a speaker to perform properly is directly related to the amount of current provided by an
amplifier.That’s why current is so important.
Amplifier power,expressed in watts, is the product of voltage (volts) and current (amperes): power = voltage x current (watts = volts x amperes).
When looking at amplifier power ratings in watts, it’s impossible to determine how much current the product can generate.Most
manufacturers choose not to publish separate current measurements; however, the high-current capability of Harman Kardon amplifiers
and receivers is readily available. The amplifiers in our products are praised because they’re capable of delivering enough current to drive
even the most demanding loudspeakers, and of handling the most dynamic musical passages or movie soundtracks.
To clarify the importance of current, think of a 12-volt car battery. Now think of eight 1.5-volt AAA batteries. Both options deliver 12 volts,
but which would you choose to start your car? In other words, which would have more current? Or think of two cars with the same horse­power (watts), but one with more torque. The car with high torque (current) will not lose speed when driving uphill,while the car with low
torque will lose speed and need to use a lower gear to maintain the same speed.

ULTRAWIDE BANDWIDTH

While most amplifiers and receivers struggle to cleanly reproduce the audible frequency spectrum from 20Hz to 20kHz, Harman Kardon
components typically extend to well beyond 100kHz.Although this exceeds the boundaries of human hearing, this broadband response eliminates
phase distortion for improved transient accuracy and phase linearity.The audible result is better-defined imaging and sharper focus.

LOGIC 7

®

Developed by Lexicon – a specialist in high-end audio and a Harman International company – Logic 7 processing was the first 7.1-channel
surround mode to create realistic 7-channel surround from both stereo and matrix-encoded surround recordings. Logic 7/5.1 and Logic 7/7.1
modes allow 2-channel source material to play in thrilling multichannel surround. This patented processing technology extracts and
re-creates all the subtle details and the full musical balance that the recording engineer included in the original master. Logic 7 technology
can faithfully reproduce source material with maximum separation, and uses intelligent steering to provide full bandwidth to all channels.
There are two Logic 7 modes, one for Cinema and one for Music. Making the best even better,many Harman Kardon receivers are capable
of postprocessing, bringing the benefits of Logic 7 technology to the surround channels of discrete digital-playback formats.

EzSet/EQ

™

II AND EzSet/EQ

™

Whether you can’t wait to set up a new receiver or are simply technology-shy, Harman Kardon has the answer you have been waiting for.
EzSet/EQ II and EzSet/EQ technologies use a high-precision microphone and digital processing to measure a system’s performance for
quick and easy calibration of speaker settings, output levels and delay times with accuracy that rivals expensive test gear.EzSet/EQ II and
EzSet/EQ processes add proprietary software to equalize the receiver’s output for an optimal match to the sonic signature of your speakers’
and listening room’s individual characteristics.

HONEST NUMBERS

Harman Kardon measures power with all channels driven, with the frequency range, impedance and distortion clearly specified, according to
FTC (U.S. Federal Trade Commission) guidelines. This means our figures include no exaggeration or inflation. By delivering full-rated power
to ALL channels simultaneously,Harman Kardon ensures that music and movies are reproduced with full impact, the way they were meant
to be heard. This is the user’s guarantee for stability, reliability and pure, clean sound.

TECHNOLOGY FIRSTS

Harman Kardon holds true to the company’s mission, as expressed by our founder, Dr.Sidney Harman, which is a commitment to
“technology that serves the genuine needs of consumers – serves, not intimidates.” We’ve reached that goal with constant innovation.
For instance, our industry-leading bass-management systems make it easy to direct sound to the proper speaker, no matter what the
combination of sources or speaker types, and we were the first to make it possible to link computer audio to home entertainment
systems. Additionally,The Bridge docking station simplifies the use of your iPod player with your home audio system.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE VERY FINEST

Life is short. Too short for compromises, shortcuts and mediocrity. For more than 50 years,Harman Kardon has stood for excellence in the
engineering, design and manufacture of products that satisfy our passion for perfection in music and movies. If it’s a passion you share,
we invite you to join us for heightened listening and viewing experiences.

models.1You can select tracks using your AVR’s

remote and view on-screen navigation menus. What could be easier?

Wouldn’t it be nice if one cable linked a digital audio/video source to your AVR, with another single connection to your
video display? That’s exactly what HDMI technology does,simplifying digital component connections. Select Harman Kardon
AVR models go one step further by converting analog video to high-resolution digital video for HDMI connectivity.

Getting the best sound takes more than just power – it requires tailoring the system parameters to the unique
characteristics of the listening room. With the press of a few buttons, our patented EzSet/EQ and EzSet systems
do that for you automatically, with accuracy previously possible only with expensive professional gear.

Harman Kardon technology unleashes music power so that it can be heard almost anywhere in the house. Thanks
to configurable amplifiers, A-BUS Ready single-cable connectivity and standard second-zone remotes, it’s easier than
ever to have the sound you want, where you want it.

Sometimes technology changes after you purchase a component. That’s why all Harman Kardon AVR models (except
AVR 146), DVD players and HS systems can be easily updated when needed, helping to keep your system as current
as possible for years to come.

Four-Zone/Eight-Room A-BUS®Expansion Hub
With the ABH 4000, you’re no longer limited to listening to the same music in each room.When connected between up to

four sources and your AVR, the ABH 4000 lets you easily create up to four zones with separate sources so everyone can
listen to what he or she wants to hear. Connect a Harman Kardon AVR equipped with A-BUS technology via a simple link and
you can add the receiver’s tuner,XM Radio or The Bridge docking station (when equipped) to the list of sources. Thanks to the
ABH 4000, multizone whole-house audio has never been so simple, or so affordable.

Four-Room A-BUS Expansion Hub
With the ABH 4, no room in the house need be without music, no matter which AVR is in use. For existing systems linked

to A-BUS Ready products, the ABH 4 allows you to power up to four rooms,or even more with additional ABH 4 hubs. For
systems without an A-BUS Ready jack, the ABH 4’s onboard audio inputs add the simplicity of A-BUS technology to any
multichannel or stereo receiver with a “Tape” or “Multiroom” output;you can even use it directly with a CD or DVD player or
outboard tuner to bring music to any room.

Amplified In-Wall Module With Onboard Controls for A-BUS Applications
The perfect mate to the ABH 4000 or to any A-BUS Ready Harman Kardon AVR, the AB 2 lets you select and control your

listening source, raise or lower the volume for the AB 2’s internal power amplifier or turn the system on or off.A built-in IR
sensor completes the package, which means you may use the included AVR remote or almost any Harman Kardon remote to
control compatible sources.You can even change the keycaps to match your system configuration.

Amplified In-Wall Module for A-BUS Applications
The innovative A-BUS system makes it incredibly easy to bring Harman Kardon sound to a remote room. Thanks to a

built-in amplifier and a single-cable connection to any A-BUS Ready receiver or an ABH Series expansion hub,all you
need to do is connect the speakers and use your second-zone remote or the up/down volume control, and musical
pleasure is yours throughout your home.
