Amazon.com Product Description
In addition to a powerful, high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier and all the audio formats and features you can dream of, Harman Kardon's AVR 7300 7.1-channel audio/video receiver is equipped with DCDi processing by Faroudja--image technology that upconverts all inputs to high-resolution component-video signals. Along with built-in test signals and a wide range of video adjustments, the AVR 7300 gives you picture quality to match the scintillating power and performance of its audio.
The AVR 7300 offers the company's most advanced technologies and features. Its superior audio quality derives from its 7 channels of high-current (+/-75 amps), ultrawide-bandwidth amplification, its 192 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog audio chips, the latest Cirrus Logic CS 49400 24-bit, dual-core DSP with 32-bit post-processing, and compatibility with all popular and many leading-edge surround-sound formats.
The AVR 7300's suite of technologies includes HDCD processing and Harman Kardon's exclusive switchable front-panel audio, video, and coaxial digital-audio inputs. The AVR 7300 also offers complete Quadruple Crossover digital bass management for all inputs--critical for balancing the inputs from different surround formats--including the 6/8-channel "direct" analog inputs to accommodate playback of high-resolution digital-audio formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD. The receiver's bass management seamlessly integrates these formats with any speaker system, regardless of the capabilities of the playback device.
The receiver also includes a host of important features such as A/V Sync Delay for synchronizing the audio and video signals in systems using digital video displays, external video processors, or with digital sources such as PVRs, satellite, or digital cable; RS-232 connectivity for bidirectional remote control and firmware upgradeability; Harman Kardon's exclusive EzSet remote with 2-line LCD display; Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone surround processing; MP3 playback (through a digital-audio connection with your MP3-CD-compatible source component); and a slot-mounted tuner that may be upgraded at a future date to accommodate HD Radio.
Of special interest to custom installers, the AVR 7300 offers extensive multi-room capabilities with assignable amplifier configuration and A-BUS Ready connectivity (2 jacks); a comprehensive selection of digital and analog video and audio connections, including 2 assignable, wide-bandwidth (50 MHz), HDTV-compatible component-video switching inputs; 6 digital-audio inputs, front-panel and S-video inputs and outputs; surround back channels assignable to remote zone; and a dedicated Zone II remote for multi room operation, among other features.
Harman Kardon's proprietary Logic 7 audio technologies deliver improved, derived multichannel reproduction from both matrix-encoded and 2-channel stereo recordings with derived stereo decoding (unlike the mono decoding provided by other 6.1 formats) for the back surround channels. Logic 7 is compatible with 96 kHz sources and offers 2 listening modes, Cinema and Music, for improved playback of both matrix-encoded movie soundtracks and 2-channel music recordings. The result is better imaging and separation along with a greater sense of envelopment and a more seamless sound field.
The AVR 7300 also uses Harman International's patented VMAx Virtual Theater audio processing, a DSP method of producing realistic, high-fidelity, 3-dimensional, 360-degree surround sound audio from 2-channel stereo and matrix-encoded multichannel audio sources, using just 2 loudspeakers or headphones.
