Harman Kardon AVR 355 review
7 x 65W 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI 1.3a Repeater, Audio/Video Processing and Upscaling to 1080pThe AVR 355 includes a full complement of Dolby and DTS processing technologies, HDMI repeater capability, Faroudja DCDi Cinema processing, EzSet/EQ equalization, and Zone II and A-BUS multiroom capability. It connects to a universe of digital and analog sources, as well as to external amps. And with The Bridge II docking station, it will even play, control and charge your iPod. To ensure that everything works together seamlessly, the AVR 355 features a full-color graphical user interface and an eight-device programmable remote. Harman Kardon founder Dr. Sidney Harman has always believed technology should serve users, not intimidate them. The AVR 355 is a perfect case in point.
