About this product

Product Information

You can upscale your analog video signals to high-resolution 720p video with the Harman Kardon AVR 247. This device has a strong musical ability and will make a great addition to your existing stereo setup. The brand uses EZSET/EQ technology and the high-current, ultra-wide bandwidth amplifier design to provide clarity to the sound it delivers. A conservative 7- by 50-watt output means the receiver has plenty of power on tap and can pump out extremely loud sound for your parties or other get-togethers. Its inputs include two HDMI, two optical, and two coaxial ports. The outputs include a headphone jack and a coaxial digital as well as optical digital ports. Additional features include a universal remote control, a built-in fluorescent display, and an auto-calibration microphone.Harman Kardon receivers are associated with a particular fusion of powerful output and a clean, balanced tone. That is a hard line to maintain because it is easy for that much output to color the underlying signal and introduce distortion. However, the AVR-247 minimizes such distortion to provide you with optimal clarity. Every note and tone comes through clean and clear. Each of the seven channels has 50 watts, which is plenty to drive a big speaker and a subwoofer with each one. You can make the Kardon AVR-247 receiver the heart of your home theater surround sound system. It can improve visual clarity as well as audio quality. The receiver can take any input and scale it up to 720p HD resolution. Many movies are not originally available in anything higher than 420i or 420p, so the ability to upgrade their visuals to take full advantage of a newer HDTV can be a big advantage for you. While the primary role of the AVR is to act as the central hub for your entire system, it has a few special features to make it even more enticing. It can connect to an iPod or external device with just an auxiliary cable. You can also use the remote control to choose songs from the iPod's memory. That means you can replace your earbuds with powered speakers to really immerse yourself in the music. There is also an included AM/FM tuner if you have a favorite radio station that you want to listen to. The Dolby Digital output in each channel is not just for TV. The entire unit can function as the core of your home entertainment system in every dimension. It has two HDMI input ports and one output port for as many connections as you need.If you need to drive a nice, powerful set of speakers, play DVDs, and listen to music over the radio or from your iPod, this Harman Kardon AVR receiver can do it all for you. It is a jack of all trades that has mastered the art of preserving the heart and soul of the original audio source.
