Description and Features

The AVR 135 is versatile and multifeatured, incorpo- rating a wide range of listening options. In addition to Dolby* Digital and DTS® decoding for digital sources, a broad choice of Matrix surround-encoded or Stereo surround modes are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR 135’s own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic* II, DTS Neo:6®, Dolby 3 Stereo, and Hall and Theater modes, the AVR 135 offers Harman International’s exclusive Logic 7® processing in both

5.1and 7.1 versions to create a wider, more enveloping field environment and more defined fly-overs and pans. Another 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 135 is easy to configure so that it provides the best results with your speakers and spe- cific listening-room environment. On-screen menus make it simple to enter settings for speaker configura- tions and bass management.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 135 features connections for four video devices, all with both com- posite and S-video inputs. Two additional audio inputs are available, and six digital inputs make the AVR 135 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources. For compatibility with the latest HDTV video sources and progressive scan DVD players, the AVR 135 also features two-input, wide-bandwidth, low-crosstalk component video switching.

The front panel offers coax and optical digital inputs for direct connection to digital recorders. A video recording output, preamp-out and a color-coded eight-channel input, with complete digital bass man- agement, make the AVR 135 virtually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new formats right onboard.

The AVR 135’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 fifty years ago. With state-of-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit designs, the AVR 135 is the perfect combination of the latest in digital audio tech- nology, a quiet yet powerful analog amplifier in an ele- gant, easy-to-use package.
