INTRODUCTION

With  your  purchase  of  the  HARMAN-KARDON  930  receiver,  you  have  en­

tered  a  new  era  in  high  fidelity.  The  pages  which  follow  describe  the  features 

and  operation  of  the  receiver.  We  urge  that  you  read  them  carefully  before  pro­

ceeding to put the receiver into operation.

You  now  are  the  owner  of  an  instrument  unique  in  conception,  design  and 

manufacture.  For  example,  the  two  separate  power  supplies  of  the  930  (one  for 

each  channel)  guarantees  flawless  performance  regardless  of  how  much  power 

the  amplifiers  are  called  on  to  deliver.  Each  channel  has  its  own  regulated  volt­

ages  to  permit  a  response  to  full  RMS  power  output  without  being  affected  by 

the  other  channels.  This  closely  regulated  power  supply  results  in  cleaner  and 

more transparent sound.

The  930  is  also  the  proud  heir  of  the  HARMAN-KARDON  trademark  —  ultra 

wideband  frequency  which  reproduces  sound  beyond  the  limits  of  human  hearing. 

This provides extra realism to the range you actually hear.

There  are  but  examples  of  what  is  in  store  for  you,  your  family  and  friends 

when you put the 930 to use,

Read this manual first . . . and then go on to en[oy many full years of genu­

ine listening pleasure.
