7 x 85W 7.2-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI

Switching and Audio/Video Processing

Digital audio meets digital video. The AVR 745’s DCDi

®

by Faroudja video processing upscales all incoming video to 720p 

or 1080i. Two HDMI 1.1 inputs are available to decode audio for true single-wire connectivity. Digital audio extras include 
XM Ready

®2

capability, iPod playback through The Bridge docking station, and USB playback from compatible computers.

Our EzSet/EQ II system, 7.2-channel output, TC 30 remote and more make this the most flexible AVR we’ve ever produced.

7 x 75W 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI Switching and Audio Processing

Versatility at its best! The AVR 645 not only switches two HDMI 1.1 sources, it is able to decode Dolby

®

Digital, DTS

®

and PCM audio streams from the HDMI inputs. Add USB audio, iPod connectivity and XM Ready capability to our
EzSet/EQ system and high-current amplifier, and the AVR 645 performs with ease. Equally impressive on the video 
side is transcoding so that all analog video inputs may be viewed via component outputs, and A/V Sync Delay, which
reconnects the timing of sound and images. There is no better combination of sound and image anywhere.

7 x 65W 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI Switching

Make the switch! With two-input HDMI switching, XM Ready and USB connections, and multiple digital and analog 
inputs (including The Bridge input), the AVR 445 is ready to handle all your sources. Digital decoding, bass management 
and EzSet/EQ technology transform the most complex system into an accurate, seamless sound field. A high-current
amplifier and a wealth of features complete the package to switch your home theater to the “perfect” mode.

7 x 55W 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI Switching and Audio/Video Processing

Picture this! The AVR 347 not only includes a host of powerful features such as DCDi by Faroudja video processing,
Simplay HD

- verified HDMI 1.1 connectivity with full audio processing and EzSet/EQ technology; it uses a colorful user

interface to make system setup and operation easier than ever. Add full multiroom capability with A-BUS connectivity and
you have pure Harman Kardon sound everywhere in the house.

7 x 50W 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI Switching and Audio/Video Processing

Upscale video without an upscale price. The AVR 247 is our most affordable receiver that allows you to upscale incoming
analog video signals to high-resolution 720p output or select two HDMI inputs for audio processing, all with a Simplay HD-
verified, single-wire connection to an HDMI-equipped display. And the sound? Pure Harman Kardon audio, with the clarity 
possible only with EzSet/EQ technology and our high-current, ultrawide bandwidth amplifier design.

5 x 40W 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI Switching

Fully connected! That is a perfect description of the AVR 147, where two-input, Simplay HD-verified HDMI switching,
two 100MHz-capable component video inputs, a wealth of digital audio inputs and both XM Ready and The Bridge 
connections let you connect and command virtually any home theater source. Logic 7 processing, EzSet/EQ technology
and high-current amplification take care of the audio, to provide you with the best sound.

5 x 30W 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI Switching

Affordably priced, but full-featured. The AVR 146’s sonic quality and sophisticated features make it an exceptional value.
From two-input Simplay HD-verified HDMI switching to the latest Cirrus Logic

®

49510 DSP, A/V Sync Delay, and a high-

current amplifier, the AVR 146 is modest in price, but high in performance.
