MHCC

(High-instantaneous

Current

Capability)

Recent

studies

have

shown

that

while

reproducing

dynamic

music

signals

the

instantaneous

impedances

of

nearly

all

loud-speakers

drop

to

less

than

one

third

of

the

nominal

ratings.

These

low

instantaneous

impedances

typically

require

3

to

6

times

more

current

than

an

8

Ohm

resistive

load.

Reduced

dynamic

range

and

increased

distortion

will

result

if

the

am-

plifier

cannot

provide

these

higher

currents.

For

this

reason,

the

PM655

Vxi

was

designed

to

provide

45

amperes

of

in-

stantaneous

current.

gm

Ultrawide

Bandwidth

The

bandwidth

of

this

unit

is

exceptionally

wide

and

inde-

pendent

of

negative

feedback.

This

improves

transient

accuracy

and

phase

linearity.

wLow

Negative

Feedback

This

unit

has

been

designed

to

have

low

distortion

and

wide

bandwidth

without

high

negative

feedback.

This

further

im-

proves

its

dynamic

accuracy.

mDual

RIAA

Phono

Equalization

The

phono

section

employs

Harman

Kardon’s

unique

dual

RIAA

equalization

circuitry.

RIAA

equalization

is

used

in

both

the

open-loop

and

closed-loop

signal

path

(with

and

without

negative

feedback).

This

permits

the

application

of

constant

low-level

negative

feedback

throughout

the

audio

range.

w

Discrete

Component

Circuitry

In

order

to

achieve

the

above

goals,

all

discrete

electronic

circuitry

has

been

employed.

All

available

integrated

circuits

could

not

provide

this

high

level

of

performance.

Sophisticated

Electronic

Protection

Harman

Kardon

engineers

developed

a

unique

protection

system

that

permits

high

instantaneous

current

to

be

driven

into

speaker

systems

but

protects

the

amplifier

from

short-circuited

or

damaged

speakers

and

wires.

This

protection

system

in

no

way

limits

amplifier

output

voltage

or

current

during

music

reproduction,

and

therefore

has

no

negative

effect

on

sound

quality.

mw

Moving

Coil

Cartridge

Amplifier

A

high

sensitivity,

low

noise

amplifier

is

provided.

This

permits

the

direct

input

of

most

moving

coil

cartridges.

m@

Capacitance

Trim

Selector

This

feature

enables

precise

impedance

matching

between

moving

magnet

type

cartridges

and

the

phono

circuitry.

The

widest,

flattest

frequency

response

possible

can

be

obtained

from

any

high

quality

phono

cartridge.

m@Pre-out/Main-in

Switch

This

feature

allows

independent

use

of

the

preamplifier

and

main

(power)

amplifier

sections.

With

this

switch

in

the

“integrated”

position,

the

preamplifier

section

is

internally

connected

to

the

main

(power)

amplifier.

By

depressing

this

switch

to

the

“separate”

position,

the

preamplifier

output

and

main

(power)amplifier

input

jacks

on

the

rear

panel

become

active.

mPhase-correct

Loudness

Phase-correct

loudness

is

an

exclusive

Harman

Kardon

feature

which

provides

two

major

benefits:

it

can

equalize

and

restore

the

low

frequency

response

of

small

joud-speakers,

and

it

can

be

used

in

place

of

conventional

loudness

contour.

But

unlike

conventional

bass

boost

circuits,

Harman

Kardon’s

phase-correct

loudness

also

includes

a

phase

correction

circuit

that

maintains

clear,

natural

sound.

FEATURES

GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS

Always

Use

at

120V

AC

This

unit

is

designed

for

operation

with

120V

AC.

Connect

only

to

domestic

AC

outlets.

Never

connect

the

unit

to

an

outlet

supplying

a

higher

voltage.

This

may

create

a

fire

hazard.

Handle

the

Power

Cord

Gently

@Do

not

disconnect

the

plug

from

the

AC

outlet

by

pulling

the

cord;

always

pull

the

plug

itself.

Pulling

the

cord

may

break

the

wire.

lf

your

unit

will

be

left

unused

for

any

considerable

length

of

time,

disconnect

the

plug

from

the

AC

outlet.

®Do

not

place

furniture

or

other

heavy

objects

on

the

cord,

and

avoid

dropping

heavy

objects

on

it.

Also

do

not

make

a

knot

in

the

power

cord.

Not

only

may

the

cord

be

damaged,

it

can

also

Cause

a

short

circuit

and

a

consequent

fire

hazard.

Place

of

Installation

Place

your

unit

on

a

firm

and

level

surface.

Avoid

installing

your

unit

under

the

following

conditions:

>

Moist

or

humid

places.

>

Places

exposed

to

direct

sunlight

or

close

to

heating

equipment.

b>

Extremely

cold

locations

such

as

those

in

the

direct

draft

from

an

air

conditioner.

»

Piaces

subject

to

excessive

vibration

or

dust.

>»

Poorly

ventilated

places.

Do

not

cover

the

ventilation

slots

on

the

top

of

the

unit.

This

will

cause

the

temperature

inside

the

unit

to

rise,

which

can

eventually

affect

the

reliability

of

your

unit.

Moving

the

Unit

Before

moving

the

unit,

be

sure

to

unplug

the

power

cord

from

the

AC

outlet

and

disconnect

the

interconnection

cords

to

other

units.

Do

Not

Open

the

Cabinet

To

prevent

fire

or

shock

hazard,

do

not

tamper

with

internal

components

for

inspection

or

maintenance.

Harman

Kardon

does

not

guarantee

against

performance

degradation

resulting

from

any

modification.

If

water,

a

hairpin

or

wire

accidentally

enters

the

unit,

imme-

diately

unplug

the

power

cord

from

the

AC

outlet

to

prevent

shock

and

consult

an

authorized

Harman

Kardon

service

sta-

tion.

If

you

use

the

unit

under

this

condition,

it

may

cause

a

fire

or

shock

hazard.

Cleaning

When

the

unit

gets

dirty,

wipe

it

with

a

soft

dry

cloth.

If

ne-

cessary,

wipe

it

with

a

soft

cloth

dampened

with

mild

soapy

water

and

then

wipe

with

a

dry

cloth.

Never

use

benzine,

thinner,

alcohol

or

other

volatile

agents,

and

avoid

spraying

an

insecticide

near

the

unit.

Connecting

Other

Components

Carefully

connect

the

plugs

to

the

left

and

right

channel

jacks.

Push

the

plugs

in

all

the

way.

Poor

setting

of

the

plugs

tends

to

cause

hum

or

intermittent

sound

and

may

damage

the

speakers.

NOTE:

While

you

are

connecting

this

unit

to

the

rest

of

your

high

fidelity

system,

please

unplug

the

power

cord,

discon-

necting

not

only

this

unit

but

all

the

components,

from

the

AC

outlet.

Do

not

interwind

the

connection

wires

with

the

power

cord.

If

interwound,

the

sound

quality

may

be

degraded.

When

only

one

turntable

is

used,

be

sure

to

insert

the

attached

short-pin

plug

into

the

PHONO

MM

or

MC

jacks

that

are

not

being

used.

Connecting

Speakers

Connect

the

speaker

wires

carefully

to

the

speaker

terminals

On

the

rear

panel

so

as

not

to

mistake

the

left

and

the

right

channels

or

reverse

the

speaker

polarities

(+

and

—).

Use

sufficiently

thick

wire

(18

gauge

for

short

lengths,

16-12

gauge

for

longer

lengths).

It

is

recommended

to

use

color-coded

wire

for

easy

polarity

identification.

Speaker

wires

should

be

as

short

as

possible,

and

the

left

and

the

right

channel

wires

should

be

the

same

length.
