Amazon.com Review

If you're in the market for a terrific-sounding AV receiver and require only the most basic features for home theater operation, Harman Kardon's entry-level AVR 100 struts its stuff with stellar build quality and crystalline sound.

The AVR 100 benefits from many of the same qualities that make the Harman Kardon receiver lineup one of the best we've seen. For example, while it's rated at just 40 watts per channel (wpc) in surround mode (50 wpc in stereo), the AVR 100's High Current Capability (HCC) amplifier sounds as dynamic and effortless as many 150-wpc amps we know.

In testing, the AVR 100 drove a variety of speakers to nearly skull-shattering levels with both CDs and our favorite blockbuster DVDs. Most people regard wattage as all-important in determining amplifier prowess. But Harman's products testify to the greater significance of high current, rather than high power.

Because the AVR 100 comes equipped with both Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital surround decoding, you'll be able to enjoy your DVDs and surround-encoded VHS tapes at their very best. In addition, the AVR 100 comes with 5.1-channel direct inputs, which means that it will be fully capable of amplifying decoded DTS surround sound (from a DTS-decoding DVD player) or future surround formats as they become available.

Another important characteristic the AVR 100 shares with higher priced Harman receivers is its lifelike sound. Our favorite CDs sounded full, rich, and natural. Like all inherently neutral-sounding components, the AVR 100 conveys a sense, it seems, of the space in which the recordings were made. Dynamics are explosively fast and delivered with force. High frequencies sound smooth yet detailed, and the bottom end is tuneful (rather than monotonous), with a nice punch to it.

Although we wish the AVR 100 had S-video switching and DTS decoding, it really wasn't designed for the hard-core videophile. Instead, the AVR-100 is for those of us who love music and movies, want them to sound their best, and yet like to keep our systems simple. To that end, it succeeds beautifully. --Wayne Garcia

Pros:

Superb sound
Excellent build quality
Ready for future formats

Cons:

No S-video switching
No DTS decoding
Remote not fully illuminated

No S-Video means No Digital Video.......2000-10-30

I don't own this, but I read the specs. Anyway, with no S-Video, you won't get the best results possible from DVDs, but keep in mind that if your TV is more than 3 years old, you probably couldn't use it anyway. Look for a black input with 6 holes right near to your A/V inputs. If it's there, you DON'T want this reciever. You might also want to count your sources. If you have more than 3 (count your TV, VCR, DVD, MD, Tape, Satellite, etc.) you can't use this.

a flexible, easy to configure system.......2000-08-01

I have every component plugged into this thing, dvd, cd, tape, tv, vcr. i like how it automatically switches the output to the tv based on the component you select. digital connections allow me to use coax, or optical for dvd, giving a very crisp picture and sound. one issue that i've found is that if you turn it on to DVD mode, then turn on your dvd player and start a dvd, it will not play through the system. if you turn the dvd player on first, then the HK, everything works ok. (may be specific to the COAX connection). the system has two coax inputs for multiple types of components. the front of the system is vintage HK. very slick look, not too many buttons, very crisp and clear LEDs. as with many of the other reviews, i agree that you will probably never turn the volume knob up past half way...it pumps out a lot of power to multi-speaker systems.

Lacking features.......2000-07-19

Beware that the AVR 100, while excellent at audio processing, lacks a Phono input (for those who still care), and lacks the ability to record one thing to VCR while watching another. Both of these features were removed when H/K moved from the 5 series to the hundred series. It also lacks S-video inputs/outputs.

WPC means nothing here.......2000-06-12

I have to admit that the Watts per Channel had me worried when the salesman was showing me receivers, until I listened to the sound. I also have a Harmon Kardon CD player and they are connected with a Fiber Optic line. The clarity and lack of distortion at all volume levels is incredible with this receiver. I have speakers rated at 150 watts and to tell you the truth, I would never turn this receiver up over 50%. I live in an apartment and it feels like the walls are caving in at that level. To me the most important thing with a receiver is how it sounds at more moderate levels. If you live in an apartment, that is how you will listen to it 90% of the time. The clarity is exceptional at low to moderate volume levels. You will not find a receiver that will deliver such a clean sound at this price. Most receivers at this price level WOW people with bells and whistles and high wpc ratings, and then they deliver junk. Buy this and save some money for speakers that will allow you to enjoy nice clear sound.

excelent entry level dolby digital receiver!.......2000-05-30

not as many bells and whistles compared to other common similary priced receivers. you could get dolby digital,dts, and 400 to 500 watts of power,and lots of useless soundfields but what you won't get is clean, effortless,dynamic sound. while it's rated at only 40wpc it blows away any bargain priced receiver no matter how many watts it's pushing.thats because along with those 40 watts it carries 30 amperes of current! it has it's limitations but trust me it will drive your system to theater levels with ease! plus it has 6 channel direct inputs for future formats like dts or dolby digital ex. i think you would be crazy to buy a sony or pioneer at this price! we all strive for the latest and greatest sound money can buy and with avr100 you will find it! :)

Customer Reviews:

Great phone! no noise problems whatsoever.......2003-12-17

I have two of these phones and I LOVE them! they look good, they keep a good charge, and the caller ID in the handset in great because it's face up when the phone is charging so you can see who it is without picking up the phone.

Some of the other reviews have talked about noise problems. I haven't had ANY problems whatsoever. I do know that sometimes if you have a wireless network that operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency and the router is too close to the base unit for the phone that can cause problems.

Overall, terrific phone for a great price!

Excellent Phone.......2003-07-06

This is my second AT&T 1430. After the first, I vowed never to buy another because of the constant static in the background. However, I could not find another cordless that has all the features of the 1430. So I decided to live with the static and I purchased a new one. After charging the battery and dialing my first call, to my very great surprise, I found the sound quality excellent. Not even the slightest hint of background static. Has AT&T finally improved this phone? I don't know. I'm just glad I gave it a second chance.

Bad phone.......2003-01-02

Very poor sound quality and reception is poor. STAY AWAY from this phone!

Sound quality is poor.......2002-12-25

I would have to agree with the other reviews which I have read. The sound quality is poor on this phone. There is also some feedback noice on the phone which is very annoying.

Two words -- "ECHO CANCELLATION".......2002-09-16

This phone met all my requirements... It was 2.4GHz, had caller id... message indicator light ... headset jack... and the price was great... so what was the catch?

You can't use this phone unless you are in the cone of silence with absolutely no background noise. This phone picks up every bit of background noise on your end and amplifies it through the earpeace. My friends now think my favorite word is "huh", because I have to ask them to repeat themselves every two seconds.

SAVE YOUR MONEY... stay away until the old AT&T (circa 1980) manufactures this phone correctly.

Product Description

Your 1.3-megapixel Foxz digital camera is roughly the size of a credit card - only 11.5 mm thick. The camera's portability and convenience are enabled by its "worry free" rechargeable battery, simple user interface, and easy image download when you connect the camera to a PC or Mac with the supplied USB cable. The camera offers the benefits of a technology known as Autobrite. This technology automatically adjusts the exposure and captures crisp details in scenes where both dim and bright lighting conditions are present, such as glare or backlighting. Most existing digital cameras produce washed out or silhouetted images under such conditions. Try to avoid taking pictures pointing directly at bright objects (such as the sun), due to the potential impact of extremely bright lighting on image quality and lens flare.
