Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!

With the purchase of a Harman Kardon 
AVR 132 you are about to begin many years of
listening enjoyment. The AVR 132 has been
custom designed to provide all the excitement
and detail of movie sound tracks and every
nuance of musical selections. With onboard
Dolby* Digital and DTS

decoding, the AVR 132

delivers six discrete channels of audio that take
advantage of the digital sound tracks from the
latest DVD and LD releases and Digital Television
broadcasts.

While complex digital systems are hard at work
within the AVR 132 to make all of this happen,
hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed
connections and a programmable remote con-
trol make the AVR easy to use. To obtain the
maximum enjoyment from your new receiver,
we urge you to take the time to read through
this manual. This will ensure that connections to
speakers, source playback units and other exter-
nal devices are made properly. In addition, a
few minutes spent learning the functions of the
various controls will enable you to take
advantage of all the power the AVR 132 is able
to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product,
its installation or its operation, please contact
your dealer. He is your best local source of 
information.

Description and Features

The AVR 132 is among the most versatile and
multi-featured A/V receivers available,
incorporating a wide range of listening options.
In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding
for digital sources, a broad choice of analog
surround modes are available for use with
sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the
AVR’s own FM/AM tuner. Along with the latest
Dolby ProLogic II

decoding technology, Dolby 3

Stereo, 5 Ch Stereo and custom Hall and Theater
modes, only Harman Kardon receivers offer Logic

to create a wider, more enveloping field

environment and more defined fly-overs and
pans.
In addition to providing a wide range of listening
options, the AVR 132 is easy to configure so that
it provides the best results with your speakers
and specific listening-room environment.
A Stereo-Direct mode bypasses the digital
processor to preserve all of the subtleties of
older analog, two-channel materials, while bass
management, available in the surround and
Stereo-Digital modes,improves your ability to
tailor the sound to suit your room acoustics or
taste.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 132
features connections for four video devices, all
with both composite and S-Video inputs,
including the front-panel inputs. Two additional
audio inputs are available, and a total of six
digital inputs make the AVR 132 capable of
handling all the latest digital audio sources.
A video recording output and a six-channel
input make the AVR 132 virtually future-proof,
with everything needed to accommodate
tomorrow’s new formats right on board.

The AVR 132’s powerful amplifier uses
traditional Harman Kardon high-current design
technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of
any program selection.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity
receiver fifty years ago. With state-of-the-art cir-
cuitry and time-honored circuit designs, the 
AVR 132 is one of the finest receivers ever
offered by Harman Kardon within its price range.
