Product Description

Harman Kardon's new AVR 300 is one of the most affordable high-current Dolby Digital/DTS receivers that you can get. Harman Kardon has always employed a high-current design in the amplifier section of their receivers. High current amps utilize larger transformers and transistors and are therefore better equipped to handle difficult speaker loads. The benefits to this type of technology are better reproduction of highs and lows and cleaner, crisper sound quality. Harman Kardon amplifiers exhibit full rated power response with very low distortion to beyond 80kHz. Ultrawide-Bandwidth requires selected output transistors not typically found in audio equipment. While there is no musical information present beyond the 20kHz region in current playback formats, a wide bandwidth amplifier has several audible benefits. Ultrawide-Bandwidth design contributes to superior imaging, an important stereo listening dimension, and a vital element in multichannel home theater systems. The AVR 300 is complete with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, and DTS processors on board, as well as Hall and Theater DSP modes. DSP modes recreate different acoustic environments, making music and non-surround listening more interesting. A six-channel input is also included, so that the AVR 300 is upgradeable for future technology.

Amazon.com Review

The AVR 300 is Harman Kardon's most affordable full-featured receiver--it combines Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, and DTS surround decoding and provides S-video switching, a full complement of preamp outputs, and 5.1-channel direct inputs. But there's more than features here: the AVR 300 exhibits Harman Kardon's unswerving attention to sonic accuracy and detail.

Because of its sophistication, the AVR 300 does require some effort to set up. Thankfully, Harman Kardon's owner manuals are among the most clearly written and illustrated that we've seen. Additionally, the AVR 300's intuitive onscreen display and uncluttered, programmable remote control speed the setup considerably. Our only wish is that the universal remote was fully illuminated; the only the buttons that glow are the ones you're commanding at the moment.

The AVR 300's performance, however, is outstanding. Stereo recordings sound full and natural. This receiver offers a terrific sense of air with pinpoint placement of sonic images in the stereo sound field. Dynamics are well above average, thanks to Harman's High-Current Capability. High frequencies are silky smooth and the bass scores points for both definition and wallop.

Surround sources, whether Dolby Digital or DTS, are equally satisfying, enveloping you in a wide and seamless sonic environment that makes great surround-mixed music and movies much more compelling.

And if you've any reservations about the seemingly low 50-watt-per-channel power rating, surrender them now--the AVR 300's high-quality amplifier has power to spare, even with demanding source material.

It's very simple: if you want one of the best sounding, most generously endowed receivers on the market and are willing to pay just a bit more than the average, then Harman Kardon's AVR 300 must be in the running; the returns on your investment will be anything but average.

Pros:

Superb sound quality
Excellent build quality
Loaded with features
Great value

Cons:

Remote is not fully illuminated

High Quality and Versitile.......2000-12-11

I've had this unit for several months now and I love it. In comparing it with other models having the same features, I believe the slightly higher price is justifiable. There are plenty of audio inputs for the average user, and each channel (all 6) has a line-level output. Compared to other brands which only provide Center and Sub, or just Subwoofer line outs, this is a nice touch. The sound quality is excellent, even through lower-end speakers, and there's power to spare.

The multi-room feature may seem unneeded, but it's nice to have. You can send a line-level signal to another amp, and listent to the same thing in separate rooms. You can also have the HK send a different signal to the second room than you're currently listening to on the main channels. It would be nice to have more video switching inputs, since I have used them all at this point. I think the next model up (AVR500) has at least one more video option.

I've only had one problem with my AVR300, and that's heat. I had mine in a glass-front cabinet along with my other equipment, including a DVD palyer and computer. After enough time with everything running, the amp would cut out on one or more channels. I eventually removed the glass door, and haven't had any problems since.

Once in a lifetime purchase.......2000-05-24

For me, this is one of those well spent "Once in a lifetime" Purchases. The unit does everything I ever wanted an A/V system to do, plus much more. EXAMPLE: With it's on-screen display system, I can delay the sound output of any specific speaker to the nano-second so that every speaker delivers sound to my ears at the exact same time. It's spectral range goes below and above what the human ear can detect and is incredibly sharp on both ends, thanks to the reserve amps. From the rumble of a 747 take-off, to the high-pitched chirp of a bird in a surround speaker. Add to this no audible hiss or distortion at all, even at peak volumes. This unit also actually switches all of your Audio AND video feeds together with either coax, s-video, digital, or fiber cable inputs and outputs. This feature truly eliminates multiple remote controls for ALL of your other A/V components. After all of this techno-babble, the instructions were very clear and the unit was fairly easy to set up. It did take me a few hours, but the time spent was well worth it. This unit was built with top notch quality. You will probably never have to (or want to) purchase another reciever.

UNBELIEVABLE SOUND FOR AN UNBELIEVABLE PRICE!.......2000-05-16

HMM.... SHOULD I GET THE HARMAN KARDON AVR300? , OR PAY LESS AND BUY THE SONY 935? . I ASKED MY SELF THAT SAME QUESTION, AFTER STUDYING BOTH OF THESE UNITS, LEARNING THAT THE HK300, HAS 40 AMPS X 5, AND THE SONY IS ONLY 8 AMPS, PLUS, THE ULTRA WIDE BANDWIDTH, PLUS THE 6 DISCRETE CHANNELS. AFTER MY STUDIES, I FIGURED A PAYING MORE FOR A RECIEVER THAT CAN POWER A DANCE CLUB WAS TOTALLY WORTH MY CASH.

You don't worry when you buy it.......2004-11-08

I see people paying cheap prices and buy these CD players with no names and they are still proud. I would never go with a cheap device because it is "cheap", but I am willing to pay whatever it costs to get a good name, something sturdy. I have always had very good experience with Panasonic products and this is one of them. The antishock memory works excellent. Even when doing erratic movements there is rarely an interruption in sound. Battery consumption is good compared to an average player. Radio reception is excellent (though I don't use it very much). It comes with a hand grip that makes it easy for joggers and also an AC adaptor. However the car kit is not included which should be purchased separately. Above all, behind it is the label "Made in Japan" not made in China or anywhere else. I have had it for four years and overall I am very satisfied with its performance and never had even a small problem.

Excellent Sound.......2002-03-19

I've owned this CD player for over three years and I am continually impressed by its high quality of sound. The anti-skip feature isn't great, but that may be because I've dropped it many times. The am/fm reception is unbelievable, and it plays CD's very well. The sound quality is actually much better than our [money] Sony system. I would highly recommend this CD player!

exellent player for the money-sl-sx289v.......2001-05-12

the sl-sx289v is in my oppinion an upgraded version and much better by far than the 279. it does not skip and it plays cd-rs and the 289 is an exellent buy

Good Radio But...........2001-04-23

I bought this CD player because of the good reviews I read. The radio portion is great and I am glad I have it because (being an avid exerciser) the CD player is so sensitive that it shuts off everytime I make a sudden movement. I can't use it while running, elipital trainer nor while walking. I get so frustrated with it that I just use it for the radio. If you really want a CD that won't skip, pay the money and get something better..

Great For The Price.......2001-04-18

Although there are other Panasonic players that are probably better, the price jumps rapidly with the "better" player. I have had this one for over two weeks now and am extremely pleased. The sound is excellent, although a bit soft. The eXtra Bass System does a real good job at filling in the lessened bass. The 40 second skip protection is also excellent. The headphones are good, but could be better. I paid under $100 for it, which makes it the best buy. Better headphones and placement of the volumn knob would have given it 5 stars.
