INTRODUCTION
You
are
now
the
owner
of
an instrument unique in concept and design.
The
Harman/Kardon
Model
100
+ multichannel receiver encompasses the best
of
all
forms
of
music re1;>roduction.
It
may
be installed
as
a stereophonic re-
ceiver
capable
of
delivering
clean, articulate sound
at
moderate
power
levels,
or
as a
quadriphonic
receiver
that
can
fill
your
listening room with spacious,
three dimensional sound.
When
you listen
to
your
new
Harman/Kardon
multichannel receiver you
will
instantly recognize
that
something truly phenomenal
is
taking
place. The
sound, which
normally
emerges
from
the speaker boxes,
will
lose its boundaries
and
will
emanate
from
all
over
the room recreating the scope,
depth
and
breadth
of
the concert hall. The walls
of
your
listening room
will
seem
to
dis-
appear
and
you
will
find
yourself surrounded
by
a sound
field
that
has the
same
ambience
and
spaciousness which marks a live
performance.
Stereo-
phonic
balance
and
perspective will
be
retained,
but
now
there
will
be
the
addition
of
depth
which
will
project
you
into
the
middle
of
the hall. Applause,
for
example,
will
emerge
from
the
front,
sides
and
rear.
And
during
playback
of
a live concert
don't
be
too
startled
if
you
hear
someone
coughing
or
rustling
his
program
from
behind
you.
The 4-Channel medium
is
even more
dramatic
for
contemporary
music, espe-
cially
if
the music was
originally
written
for
four
channel
reproduction.
Sounds
bounce
back
and
forth
from
the corners
of
the room involving you completely
with the
performance.
It's a new
and
exhilarating
kind
of
sound
that
will
make
listening
to
music a
new
experience.
The
Model
100
+ bears the
heritage
of
the
Harman/Ka
rdon
trademark-
ultrawideband
frequency
response,
virtually
unmeasurable
distortion
and
all
of
the required conveniences
so
essential
for
the ultimate enjoyment
of
high
fidelity
reproduction.
We
urge
you
to
read
this manual
carefully
prior
to
installing
and
operat-
ing
your
receiver. The
Model
100
+
is
not a complicated instrument. How-
ever, there
are
certain aspects
of
its
operation
which should
be
understood
clearly
before
you install
and
operate
it.
Happy
listening!
