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.

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.

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.

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.

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 1000

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.
