WELCOME
As a consumer electronics company, Harman Kardon dates
back to the days of monaural sound and vacuum tubes. And
yet here we are, still going strong after more than 50 years,
still headed by our founder, Dr. Sidney Harman, and still
following our own path, in our own way. The question is, can a
brand revered by the very first audiophiles possibly
command the respect of the iPod® generation? We’re
delighted you asked.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe borrowed “less is more” from the poet
Robert Browning, implementing that aesthetic in his building designs.
We borrowed it from Mies. While minimalism has become a major force
in architecture, music and design, it has also been one of our guiding
principles from the very beginning. At Harman Kardon, we believe that
good design consists of essential elements presented in their purest
form, with an absence of excess or embellishment. We could go on and
on about this, but that would be icing on the cake. We don’t do icing.

/ DIGITAL MEDIA CENTERS
It has long been a dream to create a media server that works like an entertainment
device, not a computer. This ideal player would be conversant in a universe of digital
storage technologies and formats, serving as the one go-to device to finally bridge the
gaping DVD/CD/music system/cell phone/camera divide. This is no longer just a dream –
behold, the Harman Kardon Digital Media Centers.

Smaller but vastly smarter and better looking than your average CD storage rack, the DMC 1000 will digitize, catalogue and
store as many as 60,000 songs as you play them, allowing you to banish all those aging jewel cases to the attic. It will also let
you distribute four separate audio streams from your music library to different locations in your home. With touch-sensitive front-
panel controls (the ultimate no-button design), a concealed front-panel USB jack and hidden memory card slots, the DMC 1000
will even let you transfer your music for use in portable players, card-equipped cars and cell phones. And your iPod? Full
audio/video playback and charging with The Bridge universal dock (sold separately and very much worth it).

TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY
Harman Kardon was delivering high bandwidth before most people
realized it was a good thing. Technology leaders can only lead by example,
and we’ve been setting a series of very good examples for more than
50 years. Many of the technologies found in today’s finest amplifiers
were introduced by Harman Kardon. And we’ve always been quick to
adopt and improve on any good ideas we didn’t actually think of ourselves.
It doesn’t happen often, you understand, but it happens.

/ AUDIO/VIDEO RECEIVERS
A maximum number of options, a minimum number of buttons. Harman Kardon A/V
receivers employ the industry’s most advanced technologies to optimize the audio and
video clarity of any entertainment source, old or new. Yet even certified technophobes will
discover – once they stop trembling – that they can operate them successfully.
AVR 74577 xx 8855WW 77..22--CChhaannnneell AA//VV RReecceeiivveerr WWiitthh HHDDMMII™™ SSwwiittcchhiinngg//RReeppeeaatteerr aannddAAuuddiioo//VViiddeeoo PPrroocceessssiinngg
Connecting the dots to create the perfect picture. Today’s home entertainment systems are likely to
include a variety of sources and formats and, to make the most of them, they need to work together.
That’s what the AVR 745 is all about. HDMI single-wire connectivity? Times two. DCDi® by Faroudja
processing? Yes, with complete adjustments for each video input. iPod playback and navigation?
Check, with The Bridge universal dock and TC 30 remote. XM Ready® and USB-capable? Yes and yes.
With 85 watts of true power to drive each of seven channels, dual subwoofer outputs (the “.2” in 7.2),
and the EzSet/EQ™ II system to precisely tune the system’s performance parameters to the
requirements of your room, the AVR 745 is ideal for a large-scale home theater or a truly impressive
2-channel music system. Or both.

A/V receivers are like Swiss Army knives. Some are just more capable than others. The AVR 347 includes today’s most-wanted
technologies: DCDi by Faroudja processing, Simplay HD™-verified HDMI 1.2a connectivity, EzSet® equalization and A-BUS® multiroom
capability. All good. But the AVR 347 also features an intuitive user interface that makes all those technologies easier to set up and
actually use. Harman Kardon’s founder, Dr. Sidney Harman, has always believed technology should serve, not intimidate. The AVR 347
is a perfect case in point.
AVR 24777 xx 5500WW 77..11--CChhaannnneell AA//VV RReecceeiivveerr WWiitthh HHDDMMII SSwwiittcchhiinngg//RReeppeeaatteerr aanndd AAuuddiioo//VViiddeeoo PPrroocceessssiinngg
Don’t think of video scaling as an extra expense. Think of it as an investment in your existing video library. The AVR 247 is the most affordable
Harman Kardon receiver to upscale incoming video signals to the high-resolution 720p standard. But wait, there’s more. It features two
Simplay HD-verified HDMI inputs and EzSet/EQ technology. And, like all Harman Kardon receivers, it features a high-current, ultrawide-
bandwidth design for maximum fidelity. Is it the ideal receiver to rescue your pre-HD DVDs? That’s a call only you can make.
AVR 14755 xx 4400WW 55..11--CChhaannnneell AA//VV RReecceeiivveerr WWiitthh HHDDMMII SSwwiittcchhiinngg
Get connected. Two Simplay HD-verified HDMI inputs. Two 100MHz-capable component video inputs. Four S-video inputs. Six coax and
optical digital audio inputs. XM Ready and The Bridge connections. DTS®, Logic 7® and Dolby® surround sound processing technologies. The
AVR 147 is our most powerful 5.1-channel receiver, and one of the most versatile receivers out there.
AVR 14655 xx 3300WW 55..11--CChhaannnneell AA//VV RReecceeiivveerr WWiitthh HHDDMMII SSwwiittcchhiinngg
Judge it feature for feature, or dollar for dollar. Generally speaking, people choose Harman Kardon components based on performance, not
price. But the AVR 146 can be chosen for either. Its two-input Simplay HD-verified HMDI switching, Cirrus Logic® 49510 signal processing,
A/V sync delay and a high-current amplifier design mean pure Harman Kardon sound. But at a price that’s lower than you’d expect.

THE BRIDGEOf course you can plug your iPod into any music system,
but why would you want to? You know the problem. Every
time you need to adjust your playlist or choose a new one,
you have to undock your iPod and the music abruptly stops.
Bummer (as would-be DJs of a certain age might put it). But
The Bridge changes that. It’s a universal iPod dock that
connects directly to most Harman Kardon A/V receivers and
the DMC 1000. And you can control it with the AVR or DMC
remote, guided by on-screen or front-panel menus that
you can read from across the room. Let the (gloriously
uninterrupted) music begin.

HISTORY
In 1953, Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon formed a company to
introduce a highly sensitive FM tuner that was a revelation at the time.
The following year, they combined their superior tuner with a superior
amplifier, creating an unheard-of device, which they called a receiver. In
the years to come, landmark Harman Kardon products would lead the
transition from vacuum tubes to solid state, from mono to stereo, and
from analog to digital. With features that often broke new ground, and
performance that always set higher standards, nothing else ever
looked or sounded quite like Harman Kardon components. And that’s
just the way we wanted it.

HK 348522 xx 112200WW SStteerreeoo RReecceeiivveerr
Can the turntable and the iPod coexist peacefully? Yes, and elegantly. The insanely
powerful HK 3485 combines an audiophile’s must-haves (high-performance phono
preamp, preout/main-in jacks, high-current amplification) with the multichannel world’s
can’t-live-withouts (video switching and a subwoofer output). For good measure, it
tosses in a cable for a direct audio/video connection to your iPod, Zune™ or other MP3
player. The HK 3485 isn’t a snob about where the music comes from, as long as it
sounds great when it reaches its final destination – your ears.
HK 338522 xx 8800WW SStteerreeoo RReecceeiivveerr
The thing about specialists is, they’re very good at what they do. The HK 3385 was born
to make beautiful music. To that end, it features high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth
amplification – a signature Harman Kardon technology that delivers all the subtlety of
an original musical performance, whether reproduced from vinyl or your MP3 player of
choice. But even specialists enjoy a change of pace from time to time. So the HK 3385
also features four high-quality video inputs. A/V cable included.
Not everyone’s a movie buff. Some people care more about Rachmaninoff’s third piano
concerto than whatever Rosebud turned out to be. For them, and for music purists of all other
persuasions, Harman Kardon keeps the audio faith by offering a choice of powerful stereo
receivers engineered by and for people who, if given a choice, would prefer to be entertained with
their eyes closed.

We didn’t start with a business plan in 1953; we started with a product.
We weren’t looking to find a marketing niche for ourselves; we were
looking to build audio components that satisfied our own passion for
music. We built our very first systems for ourselves and a handful of
others who could hear what we heard. These days, Harman Kardon
has a business plan, R&D labs and a marketing department –
everything a prestigious company should have. But we’re still building
systems for people who hear what we hear.

One-room systems are only ideal for one-room apartments. All Harman Kardon
7.1-channel A/V receivers are built with multiroom applications in mind. All include
assignable rear-channel amplifiers, all offer a second-zone control system, and all but
the AVR 247 include a second-zone remote control. Which means Harman Kardon
multiroom systems are easy to set up and use. So go ahead, spread out and enjoy
yourself. Your Harman Kardon entertainment system will be there for you.
ABH 444--RRoooomm AA--BBUUSS EExxppaannssiioonn HHuubb
One ABH 4 = four rooms; more ABH 4’s = many more rooms.
With A-BUS-equipped AVRs, the more ABH 4’s you have, the
more rooms you can serve – and the more music-hungry
constituents you can satisfy. But even without A-BUS
technology, the ABH 4’s onboard audio inputs allow you to
distribute audio from any receiver’s “Tape” or “Multiroom”
outputs to any room. You may even distribute content directly
from any handy CD or DVD player. As usual, Harman Kardon
has got you covered.
ABH 400044--ZZoonnee//88--RRoooomm AA--BBUUSS®® EExxppaannssiioonn HHuubb
Different music in different rooms. With an ABH 4000 hub, up to four different input sources and your Harman Kardon AVR, you
can easily divide your house into four separate entertainment zones, in which local customs and individual musical tastes may
prevail. Link in an A-BUS-equipped remote AVR and make its tuner, XM Radio and The Bridge accessible from throughout the
realm. May domestic bliss and your favorite music be with you.
AB 2AAmmpplliiffiieedd IInn--WWaallll MMoodduullee WWiitthh OOnnbbooaarrdd CCoonnttrroollssffoorr AA--BBUUSS AApppplliiccaattiioonnss
The ultimate keypad. The AB 2 connects to your A-BUS-
equipped AVR or ABH expansion hub to power your local
speakers without an additional amplifier. Also, it easily allows
you to select and control your listening sources as you enter a
room (and its key caps are swappable, to mirror your system),
or to power the system off as you depart. And during your
stay? The AB 2 has an infrared sensor to relay your every wish
to the AVR with virtually any Harman Kardon remote.
AB 1AAmmpplliiffiieedd IInn--WWaallll MMoodduullee ffoorr AA--BBUUSS AApppplliiccaattiioonnss
Often located next to the light switch, and every bit as
important. Controlling your A-BUS-equipped Harman Kardon
AVR in remote rooms, as well as powering remote speakers, is
as simple as a single connection to the AVR or the nearest ABH
expansion hub, and a link to the speakers. That will give you
the option of controlling local volume with the AVR’s second-
zone remote, or directly from the AB 1.
HE 1000EExxtteerrnnaall IInnffrraarreedd RReemmoottee SSeennssoorr
We don’t know of many people hiding Harman Kardon
components behind closed doors, but just in case. When you
think about it (and we have) a remote sensor for your system’s
IR remote only makes sense. What if your flat-panel video
monitor is in front of you (duh) and your AVR isn’t? Or what if
your receiver is upstairs and you’re not? One or more of our
HE 1000’s can put you in control of your AVR from anywhere
in your home. And although it’s usually considered impolite to
point, the IR sensors don’t seem to mind.

HOME THEATER SPEAKER SYSTEMS
Let Harman Kardon make this simple for you. As you probably know, a 5.1-channel
speaker system consists of four satellite speakers, a center channel speaker
primarily for dialogue, and a powered subwoofer. So if you’re ordering a la carte,
that’s four from column A, one from column B and one from column C. Simple
enough. Except the center ought to be voice-matched to the satellites, the sub
shouldn’t overpower the center or the satellites, and all six should be matched to
your electronics. Suddenly, it’s not that simple. Unless you simply choose one from
the column of Harman Kardon HKTS speaker packages.

HKTS 1855..11--CChhaannnneell HHoommee TThheeaatteerr SSppeeaakkeerr SSyysstteemm
The speaker package for people who hate it when people talk during movies. The HKTS 18 is a powerful 5.1-channel solution with
dual midrange drivers in both the satellites and the center channel for heightened realism, and a 200-watt powered subwoofer for
bass that isn’t one bit intimidated by all that heightened realism. And those talkers? We guarantee they’ll find this a tough act to
compete against.
HKTS 1555..11--CChhaannnneell HHoommee TThheeaatteerr SSppeeaakkeerr SSyysstteemm
Please have your tickets ready. With a dual-driver center channel speaker for vivid, distinct movie dialogue, four compact but
powerful satellites to pull you into the action, and a 100-watt powered subwoofer for heart-stopping bass, the HKTS 15 system is
more than equal to all the excitement Hollywood is dishing out these days. Worlds colliding? Total nuclear annihilation? Child’s play.
HKS 9SSuurrrroouunndd SSppeeaakkeerrss
No matter how good things get, there’ll always be an upgrade.
HKS 9 speakers are identical to HKTS 18 speakers, except that
they’re available in pairs, for easily upgrading a 5.1-channel
HKTS 18 or CP 65 system to 7.1 channels. The additional
speakers add a surround back channel for the ultimate in
cinema-like sound.
HTFS 2FFlloooorr SSttaannddss
Designed to position any HKTS satellite at an ideal height for
seated listeners, these aluminum floor stands feature a cable-
management system to keep speaker wires out of sight.
(You’re welcome.)
HKS 6SSuurrrroouunndd SSppeeaakkeerrss
Don’t look behind you. There’s nothing back there but your
HKS 6 speakers, faking you out by delivering a back channel
that the 5.1 HKTS 15 and the CP 60 system, by themselves,
cannot. We’ll admit that it can be a little spooky at first,
especially if it sounds like the overnight delivery guy driving up,
or anything else that might actually be happening in the real
world. But you’ll learn to cope.

You walk into a theater, buy some popcorn and enjoy the show. The movie-watching
process ought to be just as straightforward at home. But without in-house
technicians to handle your system’s setup and troubleshooting, can it ever be that
easy? Harman Kardon complete home theater systems make it easier than you may
think. With perfectly matched high-performance components controlled by a single
remote, we’ve engineered most of the complexity out of the home theater equation –
without compromising any of the performance characteristics we hold dear.
CP 6555..11--CChhaannnneell HHoommee TThheeaatteerr SSyysstteemm
The CP 65 system brings together some of the most powerful and capable components made
by Harman Kardon, to deliver a totally immersive cinematic experience at home. Teaming an
AVR 347 and a DVD 48 with the HKTS 18 (our top-of-the-line multichannel speaker package) is
a lot like casting a motion picture strictly from Hollywood’s A-list – the results are electrifying.
