Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After our old receiver died, we looked around for a replacement in the sub-$500 range. I admit that when buying the old receiver, I was suckered by the more-watts-is-better argument, but after reading about the power management Harman Kardon uses to give cleaner sound, we decided to give the 335 a try. Even before we used the included microphone to calibrate the reciever for our room and speaker layout, the sound was incredibly clear--we heard voices more distinctly, and the surround sound sounded better than it ever had before. The HK has plenty of optical sound inputs for all our devices, and the remote works with all our components from various manufacturers. It even looks cool with the glowing blue LED's (which can be turned off while watching a movie). As an added bonus, HK is an American company. I highly recommend this as a great sound solution to anyone who likes to hear their music and not the hissing and pops of over-driven speakers.

Enjoy high-quality bang for your home theater buck with Harman Kardon's AVR 335 7.1-channel audio/video surround receiver. The receiver boasts Harman's latest features and technologies as it offers near-universal surround-format compatibility. Internally, it's engineered for impressive sonic performance, featuring a discrete-output amplifier pumping seven channels of high-current (+/-35 amps), ultrawide-bandwidth amplification--7 x 55 watts into 8 ohms, 20 to 20,000 Hz with less than 0.07 percent THD--in addition to state-of-the-art 192 kHz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog converters and a high-power Cirrus 32-bit DSP processor.
The AVR 335's wealth of cutting-edge technologies also includes triple-crossover bass management, automatic digital input polling, and A/V sync delay.
Surround sound features include Dolby Virtual Speaker, Dolby Headphone processing, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx processing (which provides an expansive, full-range 7.1-channel program from any stereo or 5.1-channel source). The receiver handles all other popular formats (including Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Digital 5.1), all standard DTS modes (including 6.1 DTS-ES Discrete, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS Neo:6, Cinema 6.1/5.1, and Music 6.1/5.1), and even the latest DTS 96/24 high-resolution audio technology. You also get Harman's proprietary Logic 7 audio for enhanced multichannel reproduction from both matrix-encoded and 2-channel recordings.
The receiver's many audio and video connections include wide-bandwidth, HDTV-compatible component-video inputs and multiroom/multisource operation with independent, simultaneous playback of two program sources, assignable back surround amplifier channels, and a zone-2 remote control.
Along with its extensive video connectivity, the receiver offers a array of digital and analog audio connections, including multiple coaxial and optical digital audio inputs and outputs. It sports both analog and digital front-panel inputs, 6-/8-channel direct audio inputs, and 7.1-channel preamp outputs to accommodate a DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, or universal player. The AVR 335 is also among the first receivers to include EzSet/EQ, which provides automated system calibration and room equalization, which greatly simplifies installation while it improves system performance by tailoring the output of the receiver to your speakers, compensating for the effects of room acoustics.
The receiver's triple-crossover bass-management system lets you choose from multiple crossover frequencies for the front L/R, center, surround L/R, and surround back L/R speakers. Most receivers and DVD players have far more limited crossover filtering or none at all. Moreover, you can set different speaker-size configurations for different AVR 335 input sources according to your needs.
You get a high-quality FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets and a Listener Preference System that lets you specify a surround mode according to the program source. You can also set speaker-channel levels for each program source and DSP format (for example, the subwoofer level can be set differently for multichannel movie viewing and 2-channel CD music listening).
