AVR-254 - 7 x 50W 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver with HDMI 1.3a Repeater, Audio/Video Processing and Upscaling to 1080p The Harman Kardon AVR-254 is the most affordable Harman Kardon receiver to feature both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding on the audio side, and Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing to 1080p on the video side. That's not all though, the AVR-254 includes three HDMI inputs, connections for external amplifiers, EzSet/EQ technology to fine-tune your system to the acoustics of your room, and an RS-232 port for future firmware upgrades. The AVR-254 also features a high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth design that provides maximum fidelity and 50 Watts of power to each of its 7 channels.

Make Your Movie Library Look And Sound Its Best 
You know the latest Blu-ray movie or high definition broadcast is going to look great on your high-definition display, but what about everything else? The Harman Kardon AVR-254 improves the look of standard-definition video with advanced Faroudja processing, automatically upscaling lower resolution sources to the 1080p HD standard. Display settings may also be configured manually, allowing you to specify the optimal picture quality and aspect ratio for various sources such as game consoles or your current DVD collection.

And what the AVR-254 does for video, it also does for audio. In addition to decoding the latest Blu-ray surround formats such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio, the AVR-254 includes proprietary Logic 7 processing, which is capable of generating discrete 5.1 or 7.1-channel sound from traditional 2-channel sources.

Fine Tune Your System Like A Pro 
There’s an important difference between your home audio system and the ones you hear in movie theaters and concert halls. Professional systems are precisely calibrated by audio technicians to deliver the best possible surround sound experience. Harman Kardon’s powerful EzSet/EQ system gives you all the tools you need to achieve professional sound calibration at home. Just connect the advanced omni-directional microphone to your Harman Kardon AVR-254 receiver and follow the on-screen instructions. With a few simple steps, it will automatically adjust speaker channel levels, distances and crossover points to suit your exact room parameters.

Listen To What You Want, Where You Want 
As any family will tell you, a two-zone entertainment system can be a real crowd pleaser. While the kids watch their favorite movie on the theater system in the den, for example, you can be out listening to your favorite CD on the deck. The AVR-254 makes setting up a basic multi-room system easy. First, build a high-performance 5.1 channel home theater around your video display. Then assign the two remaining channels to a second zone, wire in an extra pair of speakers to a nearby room or outdoors and you’re done. With the AVR-254, you can direct a different source to each zone simultaneously so someone in each zone can choose what they want to listen to.

Spend More Quality Time With Your iPod 
The iPod is a great way to take your favorite songs anywhere, but you can also use it along with the Harmon Kardon AVR-254 to fill your home with music. Just connect a stereo mini-cable to your iPod or other MP3 player, and then plug the other end into to the auxiliary jack of the AVR-254. Your music library and playlists will be at your fingertips, as always, but your selections will sound like never before. The AVR-254 makes it easy to turn your iPod library into rich, room filling sound.

A Quick and Easy Setup 
There’s no denying that a typical home theater system can be challenging to set up and use, but Harman Kardon receivers are far from typical. The AVR-254 comes with a Quick-Start Guide that walks you through the color-coded connections that you’ll need for even the most elaborate multi-channel systems. Once connected, you’ll discover your Harman Kardon AVR-254 makes navigation easier with intuitive high-resolution, graphical on-screen menus. To access the menus at any time from any source, simply press the AVR button on the remote.
