Signature 2.0
Congratulations! With the purchase of a Harman
Kardon Signature Series product you are about to begin
many years of listening enjoyment. The Model 2.0
Processor/Tuner has been designed to provide all the
excitement and detail of motion picture soundtracks and
reproduce every subtle nuance of your favorite musical
selection. On-board Dolby* Digital and DTS
†
decoding
enables the 2.0 to deliver six channels of fully discrete
sound from the exciting new digital audio formats that
are a part of DVD and HDTV broadcasts. A wide selec-
tion of matrix decoding modes delivers full compatibility
with conventional Dolby Surround stereo and mono
programs. The 2.0 is also ready to accept future surround
systems through the use of six-channel direct inputs
that accommodate optional outboard decoders for future
surround systems.

While complex digital circuits are hard at work within
the 2.0, a simple F menu system and learning remote
control make the unit easy to install and operate.
In addition to selecting from a variety of audio/video
sources, the Signature 2.0 is equipped with the latest
in tuner technology, including the RDS data system
that automatically identifies FM stations transmitting
special data and provides information they transmit
about the station’s programming. The RDS system even
lets you automatically search for a station with a specific
program type from the participating stations in your
reception area.
To obtain maximum benefit from the Signature 2.0’s
many features we urge you to take a few minutes to read
through this manual. That will ensure that connections
to playback sources, power amplifiers and other external
devices are made properly. In addition, a few minutes
spent learning the functions for the various controls and
the meaning of the on-screen and front panel display
messages will enable you to take advantage of all the
power the Signature 2.0 is able to deliver.
