The AVR 255 is the most affordable Harman Kardon
®
receiver to feature both Dolby TrueHD
and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding on the audio side, and Faroudja DCDi Cinema video
processing to 1080p on the video side. But there’s plenty more to recommend the AVR 255,
including three HDMI inputs, connections for external amplifi ers, EzSet/EQ technology
to fi ne-tune your system to the acoustics of your room, and an RS-232 port for future
fi rmware upgrades. Perhaps the highest recommendation of all? As do all Harman Kardon
A/V receivers, the AVR 255 features a high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth design for
maximum fi delity.
