WHAT IS UP WITH THE BAD RATINGS

 

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ALL THE HATE. WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE PRODUCT JUST UPDATE THE SYSTEM. THE DIRECTION ARE SIMPLE. I THINK EVEN A MONEY COULD FOLLOW. I JUST DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH MORE SIMPLER HARMON KARDON COULD HAVE MADE THIS RECEIVER.

EVERY THING WORKS WELL! AUDIO, VIDEO ALL OUTSTANDING! THE SOUND AND POWER FROM THIS AMP IS AMAZING. I HAVE 3 SETS OF JBL SPEAKERS THAT ARE POWER HUNGRY (L5, CONTROL 5, CONTROL 1, ALSO A POWERED YAMAHA SUBWOOFER, CENTER SPEAKER IS AN ONKYO. I ALSO HAVE...

REMOTE IS BIG, BUT NO BIG DEAL

harman/kardon 7.1-Channel 7 x 50W A/V Receiver with HDMI 1.3a Repeater AVR 254

 

many different types of outputs, 3 HDMI outs, stylish look, nice GUI

Great AVR Receiver!

 

Go Harman Kardon.... you'll never regret it. My previous AVR-300 from 7 years ago has worked flawlessly.

I'm going to start off by saying that the Harman Kardon AVR 254 is an EXCELLENT home theater receiver. The interface, countless audio decoding features, and incredible HD video is on par with receivers costing twice as much. And don't any of you be...

Setup can be a little touchy, but with the addition of a Logitech Harmony universal remote plugged into my PC with a USB cable and very easy to understand instructions, my setup is now rocking along with a brand new Samsung 550 series 37" 1080p screen
