Introduction
Thank you for choosing a harman kardon
product!
This quick-start guide contains all the information you need to connect and set up your
new harman kardon audio/video receiver.
To conserve our natural resources, your receiver does not include a printed owner's
manual. An owner's manual containing complete information about operating all of your
new receiver’s features is available at our Web site. Go to www.harmankardon.com and
download the
AVR 3650, AVR 365, AVR 2650, AVR 265 Owner’s Manual.
Place the Receiver
• Place the receiver on a firm and level surface. Be certain that the surface and any mounting
hardware can support the receiver’s weight.
• Provide proper space above and below the receiver for ventilation. If you install the receiver
in a cabinet or other enclosed area, provide cooling air within the cabinet. Under some
circumstances, a fan may be required.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the receiver or place objects directly
over them.
• Do not place the receiver directly on a carpeted surface.
• Do not place the receiver in moist or humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, in
areas near heaters or heat registers, or in direct sunlight.
