Harman-Kardon AVR 260 - Manual (Page 5)

ENGLISH
In tandem with EzSet/EQ, the AVR includes a full set of manual configuration
settings for those who wish to custom-trim their system even further. A
Quadruple Crossover bass management system makes it possible to enter
different crossover settings for each speaker group.
A Stereo-Direct mode bypasses the digital processor to preserve all of the
subtleties of older analog, two-channel materials, while bass management,
available in the surround and Stereo-Digital modes, improves your ability to
tailor the sound to suit your room acoustics or taste.
For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR’s feature connections for four video
devices, all with both composite and S-Video inputs. Two additional audio
inputs are available, and a total of six digital inputs and two outputs
make the AVR capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources. For
compatibility with the latest HDTV video sources and progressive scan DVD
players, the AVR also features wide-bandwidth, low-crosstalk component
video switching.
Coax and optical digital outputs are available for direct connection to
digital recorders. A video recording output and a color-coded eight-channel
input make the AVR virtually future-proof, with everything needed to
accommodate tomorrow’s new formats right on board.
The AVR’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 then fifty years ago.
With state-of-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit designs, the AVR 260
is the perfect combination of the latest in digital audio technology, a quiet
yet powerful analog amplifier in an elegant, easy-to-use package.
