Harman Kardon AVR 155 review
5 x 40W 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI Switching
The AVR 155 is all about getting connected. It features three HDMI inputs, two widebandwidth 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.
