In the years since Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver, we have taken to heart the philosophy of bringing the joy of home entertainment to as many people as possible, adding performance and ease-of-use features that enhance the home entertainment experi- ence. With the introduction of the HS series of home theater systems, Harman Kardon offers a complete home theater solution with a wealth of listening and viewing options in one sleek component. Each HS series system also includes a 5.1-channel loudspeaker system, a system remote control and all the cables and accessories you need to enjoy movies and music entertainment in your own home, when used with your television or video display.

To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new HS system, we urge you to read this manual and refer back to it as you become more familiar with its features and their operation.
