Harman Kardon AVR 155 Installation and operation manual

Home Solutions
The AVR 155 is all about getting connected. It features three HDMI inputs, two wide-
bandwidth HDTV-ready component video inputs, four S-video inputs, a front-panel input
for video games, an auxiliary input for portable media players, and a portfolio of advanced
surround processing technologies, including Dolby Digital, DTS and Logic 7 processing.
But the AVR 155 is also about ease of use, with EzSet/EQ equalization for quick system
setup and color-coded inputs.
