Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The AVR 320 is Harman Kardon's first entry-level 7.1-channel surround-sound processing. Featuring support for Dolby Digital, DTS, Logic 7, and VMAx digital sound processing, the AVR 320 is meant to satisfy nearly any audio taste.

Pushing 55 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the AVR 320 will give you strong sound with less than 0.07 percent harmonic distortion, even with all channels being driven simultaneously. Eight-channel direct inputs are provided for future digital sound processing upgrades.

Loaded with advanced features, the AVR 320 includes DTS-ES 6.1 surround sound, wideband HDTV-ready component video switching, and 24-bit/192kHz audio digital-to-analog converter. Connection options are extensive with 7.1-channel preamp outputs, six digital inputs and three digital outputs, plus a front-panel digital input that can be switched to output mode.

Support for Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Sound is included to create surround-sound effects from a stereo input such as VCR or TV.

Additional features include multiroom/multisource audio which allows users in separate rooms to listen to different sources simultaneously. A separate Zone II Remote Control is included for multiroom operation. Power-up volume can be programmed to avoid that jarring sensation of powering up your stereo with the volume at max from the night before, and rotary controls let you adjust bass, treble, and balance settings.

A universal remote is programmable to control up to eight devices from preset codes or by using its learning capability.

4 out of 5 stars NOT ENOUGH POWER? GUESS AGAIN..............2006-03-11

I find it hard to read some reviews that compare this HK to a SONY or (arrghh) RCA receiver and find them in the same ballpark. With the high current capability and wide bandwidth response, this receiver SOARS above your BEST BUY receivers. Even with mid-priced speakers, the sound this amp reproduces is definitely high end. 55 watts/channel fills my theater room through 2 JBL L-100 Century's, AR center and surrounds and a modest (100w/12") KLH sub. Remote sucks as stated above, and MADE IN CHINA on back doesn't leave me feeling warm, but this has a gorgeous full sound you won't find with anything less than separates or a high end Onkyo or Denon, IMHO.

5 out of 5 stars Very Good Receiver.......2002-12-03

This is a very good receiver if you know how to use it.
Sound is very clean. Harman Kardon's 55 watts rate is
very consertive, it has more than enough power for my
need.

When I started shopping, I bought Onkyo 600 first (mainly
attracted by its 80 watts rating, and 6 channel output).
However, after listen to Onkyo for a couple weeks, I am not
satisfied with Onkyo's sound quality, so I purchased this one.
This receiver sounds much better than Onkyo. It produces much
cleaner sound. Finally, I returned Onkyo and kept this one.

I am using a pair of JBL S38-II as my main speakers. If you
can't hear the difference between this receiver and other
cheaper receivers, you are probably using not-so-good speakers.
If so, upgrade the speaker and hear the difference.

This receiver do have weakness though. It is not easy to use.
It takes me quite a while to get familiar with the remote and
the control buttons on the receiver. Even after I am familiar
with the remote, I would still say the remote is not easy to
use. Harman Kardon needs to improve its egnomics design.

1 out of 5 stars I was totally fooled by what I thought was a good name!!!!.......2002-11-27

I bought this receiver because it says that it has 6.1 discrete sound. You will be sorry to find out that H/K has deceived the market - THIS RECEIVER ONLY HAS 5.1 SOUND which makes it no different from all the other cheapies out there. It sounds exactly the same as the...Sony I had before this. I should have put the money into upgrading my speakers.

I thought I was taking a step up --- Oh how wrong I was!!! Wish I bought the Onkyo.

1 out of 5 stars Whimpy!.......2002-10-27

I suppose this receiver may be acceptable for a small or noise restricted viewing area. The sound quality and presence is excellent although realism is far out of it's reach due to amplification wattage limitations. The difference between this receiver and even RCAs' now superceded, outdated RT2300 is like night and day. My older RCA receiver has twice the power, the same reproductions specs., 2 main speakers, 1 center, 2 surround, and a 100watt powered subwoofer; FOR THE SAME PRICE!
Now, also take into account the fact prices are dropping with length of time on the market, proliferation, and competition!
I felt severly ...[over charged]concerning My Harmon Kardon purchase.
I sold it in a yard sale for ...[undisclosed dollar amount] and considered myself lucky.
I am now the proud owner of a new RCA RT Series System. Pick any new RCA home theater package 100watts or better and you'll be Thrilled with your purchase and amazed at the realism & quality. You'll also have money left for POPCORN!
