Balance The Sound To Your Room If you're technologically challenged, or simply can't wait to get your AVR445 AV receiver up and running, then Harman Kardon's EzSetEQ feature built into the eight device, two line display remote control was developed especially for you. Using a compact, high precision microphone included with the receiver and built in test and control circuitry with accuracy equaling expensive laboratory equipment, EzSetEQ not only configures your system for the proper speaker settings, time delays, and crossover frequencies but also uses a parametric equalizer to optimize the receiver's output performance to match your listening room's sonic signature. Parametric equalization differs from and is more sophisicated than traditional graphic equalization. Based on measurement and analysis of three sonic parameters frequency, amplitude, and bandwidth parametric equalization results in a superior set of adjustments to cancel out the sonically damaging effects of a room's architecture and furnishings. Harman Kardon designs receivers to work with your individual listening environment, not against it. Multichannel Sound From Analog Sources Versatile and multifeatured, Harman Kardon's AV445 7.1 Channel AV Receiver incorporates a wide range of listening options to match your every need. In addition to Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES 6.1 decoding for digital sources, a broad choice of analog surround modes are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts, and the AVR445's own FMAM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding technology, the AVR445 boasts Harman International's exclusive Logic 7 process to create a wider sound environment with more defined fly overs and pans, where the surround sound transitions from the speakers on one side to the speakers on the other side. Proprietary digital algorithms are used to create a more cohesive and enveloping sound field from the tens of thousands of currently available analog matrix soundtracks. Not only is Logic 7 capable of resolving either five or seven channels from a two channel source but it also increases the accuracy with which sounds are directed to the center and surround channels, for more precise reproduction of the original soundtrack. Connect To The Future For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR445 features two HDMI inputs and three, assignable, HDTV compatible component video and five S Video inputs for connecting video devices. The AVR445 converts composite and S video to component for single video connections. There are additional audio inputs and with all of its video inputs, the AVR445 is capable of handling all the latest AV sources. Coax and optical digital audio inputsoutputs are also available for direct connection to digital recorders. This bounty of connections, plus 7.1 channel direct audio inputs with bass management and bi directional RS 232 integrated system control port make the AVR445 virutally future proof, wi
