5.1-Channel and Digital Audio Decoding
The AVR-146 uses specific Dolby Digital and DTS codecs to reproduce an enveloping 5.1-Channel surround sound experience. The unit encodes Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Virtual Speaker, Dolby Headphone, DTS, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo:6, Logic 7, and Cirrus Logic 49500 series DSP processing.
Logic 7 Processing
Originally developed for high-end processors, Logic 7 processing is packaged with the AVR-146. Proprietary digital algorithms are used to create a more cohesive and enveloping sound field from the tens of thousands of currently available analog matrix soundtracks. Logic 7 is capable of reproducing either five or seven channels of exquisite sound from your two-channel source.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
If you're looking to pump high-definition DVD playback into your home theater, the AVR-146 will do the job. It has an integrated digital processor capable of switching between two HDMI inputs.
Surround Mode Selection
The AVR-146 offers a wide choice of analog surround modes available for use with sources such as your CD player, VCR, and TV cable broadcasts.
Bridge Ready
The Bridge is a docking station (option) that enables connectivity from your iPod to the AVR-146's DMP connector input. Your iPod effectively becomes another Harmon Kardon component flowing through the AVR-146.
High Current Capability
HCC is an overall design approach encompassing everything from transformer design and storage capacitor size to discrete output circuitry and minimal use of negative feedback. This enables the AVR-146 to combine tighter bass, superb transient response and enhanced presence at any volume level.
Advanced Processing
Most of the AVR-146's audio processing is handled automatically, with little intervention on your part. However, the AVR-146 is so advanced, it is capable of being customized to suite your particular system and your surround-sound tastes.
Built-In AM/FM Tuner
