Amazon.com Product Description

The Harman Kardon AVR 630 is an ultimate-performance 7.1-channel audio/video receiver that integrates the company's most advanced technologies and features. When it comes to format compatibility, switching and distribution power, audio refinement, and exciting audio-enhancing features, the AVR 630 has got it going on. Its superior audio quality derives from its seven channels of high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth amplification, its 192 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog audio chips, the latest Cirrus Logic CS 49400 24-bit, dual-core DSP with 32-bit post-processing, and compatibility with all popular and many leading-edge surround-sound formats.

The AVR 630's suite of technologies includes HDCD processing and Harman Kardon's exclusive switchable front-panel audio, video, and coaxial digital-audio inputs. The AVR 630 also offers complete Quadruple Crossover digital bass management for all inputs--critical for balancing the inputs from different surround formats--including the 6/8-channel "direct" analog inputs to accommodate playback of high-resolution digital-audio formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD. The receiver's bass management seamlessly integrates these formats with any speaker system, regardless of the capabilities of the playback device.

The AVR 630 also includes a host of important features such as A/V Sync Delay for synchronizing the audio and video signals in systems using digital video displays, external video processors, or with digital sources such as PVRs, satellite, or digital cable; RS-232 connectivity for bi-directional remote control and firmware upgradeability; Harman Kardon's exclusive EzSet remote with two-line LCD display; Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone surround processing; MP3 playback (through a digital-audio connection with your MP3-CD-compatible source component); and a slot-mounted tuner that may be upgraded at a future date to accommodate HD Radio.

Of special interest to custom installers, the AVR 630 offers extensive multi-room capabilities with assignable amplifier configuration and A-BUS Ready connectivity; a comprehensive selection of digital and analog video and audio connections, including two assignable, wide-bandwidth (50 MHz), HDTV-compatible component-video switching inputs; six digital-audio inputs, front-panel and S-video inputs and outputs; and a dedicated Zone II remote for multi room operation, among other features.

I absolutely love this receiver!!.......2004-12-03

Don't be fooled by the low wattage, this receiver is all about high current amperage! Clean sound and very detailed. My Sony died on me and I decided to go with H/K for a replacement. The AVR 630 completely changed the sound of my speakers. It was like getting a new receiver AND new speakers!

Harman Kardon AVR630 - Wonderfully Beautiful Sound.......2004-10-30

This is a very clear, powerful, and relaxing Receiver. I tried many other units and spent hundreds in restocking fees and returned postage before I tried and settled on this one as my favorite pick. I tried an Arcam AVR300 which had very revealing tonalities at twice the price - but had so much treble (I almost heard every breath of everyone in the audience and every sizzle of a cymbal) that it made my B&W 805 speakers which are already prone to be a little bright and revealing sound harsh and annoying after only a few minutes of listening. When I connected the Harman Kardon 630 suddenly I relaxed and enjoyed listening as I heard smooth, clear, and warm yet natural and open sound from this high powered amp. Don't be confused with the advertised 75 watts. The Arcam AVR300 at twice the price advertised at 100 watts and the Denon 3805 at 120 watts did not seem as powerful. The total power output is a related to the level of current X watts which is very high in this receiver since it puts out more total power than many receivers advertising twice the power (watts only) because of its high current This is a little like comparing a fire truck hose (the Harmon Kardon with high current) to a garden hose - which would be the others with low current (a small hose diameter) with water moving a little faster out of the end (watts) but not delivering near as much total water out the end as the fire hose did with the larger hose (more current). You can immediately hear the improved fidelity and very clean sound associated with this powerful receiver. I also compared the Denon 3805 which was even harsher and brighter than the Arcam AVR300 - but at least had a built in full spectrum EQ to try to compensate unlike the Arcam which only had base and treble. Again, the Denon and Arcam are verable receivers and may have sounded wonderful with their openess on other speakers or if the harsh upper ends of the B&W speakers didn't bother me. The HK receiver's sound has a softer more analog edge as it is not pure digital processing like the other's.

How your music sounds is effected largely by the built in tonal bias of both your Receiver, Speakers, and CD player together. In my opinion, as far as speaker receiver combinations go, the B&W 805's (bright speakers - yet warm & revealing) combined with the Arcam or Denon receivers (which are also bright) would induce listener fatigue in most listensers. The bright sounding Infinity speakers would probably have the same effect with the Arcam and Denon receivers unless you have a cheap CD player with poor tonal output (I like the Arcam and Jolida CD players for their revealing and warm sound). For my listening tasts the Harman Kardon AVR630 wins hands down as the best receiver with my B&W 805's. I feel it would complement almost any speakers out there nicely. Wish I had started with it in the beggining in my search for the "perfect sytem".

The Harman Kardon AVR630 is currently discounted as it is soon to be replaced. If you don't mind paying a few hundred more, any week now (this November) Harman Kardon is coming out with a new receiver line that looks the same (beautiful) as the current line but with a built in full spectrum automatic EQ which I assume will allow you to override its automatic adjustment to adjust the sound to the accoustics of your room and personal listening preferences. My experience with EQs is that they can dramatically improve the overall quality of the sound which is already near perfect in this unit. If you have a fairly laid back speaker (such as the Polk LSI series - which are also wonderful sounding - but not quit in the class with the 3X more expensive B&Ws) you may be happy with one of the bright sounding Arcam or Denon receivers, but from my experience and personal listening preferences - the Harman Kardon AVR630 is one of the best and most easy to listen to natural sounding high fidelity receivers around bar none and my personal favorite - with perphaps the exception of the soon to be released HK AVR635 sometime in November, 04.

P.S. The new HK AVR635 will set the EQ with auto only and although it may do a good job, it does not let you manually overide it to adjust the EQ to your own personal preferences - an obvious engineering blunder. Denon allows you to overide if that is important to you. The Denon works wonderful with the incredibly great sounding yet smooth Onix Reference speakers which by the way you can get 1/2 off at Audiogon dot com or B Stock at the AV123 site if you watch for them regularly. These speakers sound as good as the B&W 803's without the harsh treble and have better base at 1/2 the price of the B&W's new or 1/4 if you get them at half price used. I highly recommend them. Great and big sound out of small speakers!

A terrific product for automobile use. Sound is excellent and controls are simple. Don't upgrade to a new car stereo with CD player, buy this product instead. Enjoy.

Me gustaría saber qué productos de esa categoría pueden llegar a Chile.

Sensus.......2002-01-30

I really like this CD player. I wish that it had a program mode though. But for it's low price I can't complain. It did not come with an AC adaptor, but it is very effecient with batteries. One pair of AA batteries lasts 20-30 hours. (I remember when portable CD players would use up 4 AA batteries in less than 8 hours.) I usually carry this CD player in my jacket while walking and it hardly ever skips. Great value.

CD player good, car kit substandard.......2002-01-07

The CD player works very well and has some nice features for the price like replay, random play, location memory, etc.

However, the car kit cassette insert for the cassette player in my car is of poor quality. It seems to work when it wants to and it doesn't want to very often.

I took a 5-hour car trip recently and was relying on the CD player to keep my kids entertained. I think it worked for a 45 minute stretch and after some frustrating attempts to get it to work, removed it and packed it away.

I would give the CD player 4 stars and the car kit 2 stars and the car kit is really why I bought this model.

Excellent value, especially with cassette & lighter adapters.......2001-08-27

Well worth the... price. The player is very lightweight using two AA batteries which they claim can run up to 35 hours. The headphones are okay, but nothing exceptional. Using the cassette adapter and the car lighter adapter this works very well in the car and I have yet to hear a skip from the unit. It also reads audio CD-R disks just fine (not MP3 CD-R's). I have hooked the unit up to external speakers and the sound is excellent, although it defaults to its SBR "bass enhancement" which is a bit overdone when listened to on a system with reasonable bass response. I typically just listen to it with no tone enhancement at all (it has a "train" mode which I cannot find a reason to use!). It would be nice to have an AC adapter but I was able to use an old... adapter I had lying around which works fine.

Great Camera.......2007-08-06

Just in the past 2-3 years, I have gone all digital. I bought a Nikon D200, and never loooked back. I love digital, but one day, I longed for the good old days of film, and I remembered the Nikon F100 camera. So, I looked all around, and came to Amazon, and found a seller, with a price tag of $350.00, and it was a demo model, new condition, So I said what the HEY, and jumped on the deal. Now, I have a GREAT film SLR for my black and white photography, and a digital for my other. I feel I have the best of both worlds now, and didnt spend an arm and a leg to get it. The Nikon F100 is highly recommended.

UNBELIEVABLE PHONE!!.......2004-12-06

I have a Sanyo model which is identical to this except it seems to be a slightly earlier model than the one pictured, but it's pretty much the same phone. This phone... is the toughest piece of equipment I've ever seen. My dad got it for my sister's birthday when cordless phones were a pretty new creation, about 6-7 years ago for $400. Let me tell you, this thing is unbelievable. This phone has been dropped on cement, lynoleum, thrown against walls, flipped in the air and landed on tables, dropped 20 ft. down a stairwell, literally hundreds and hundreds of times, and it STILL WORKS!! After only 2-3 hours of charging, it still has a life of well over 24 hrs! I've left it idle for 5 days, and still made several calls. The battery has NEVER needed a replacement. During this phone's life, it has been so severely mistreated that any other piece of electronics would have been destroyed long ago. It has come apart and pieces fell out, but they were just put back in and the case snapped back together, and it worked fine! The ringer has even changed its tone due to an accident that occured, but there's nothing wrong with that! I've taken this phone literally 2 miles from the house and it worked great! The speakerphone and intercom still work perfect. Almost every number button has been faded from so much use. The back of the phone is taped up to keep the battery inside, but that is my fault! I've TRIED to break this phone (within reason), and it slapped me in the face and said "HELL NO!".

All I have to say is, this thing is a BEAST! I'm trying to look for a new phone with caller ID on the handset, but I'm afraid I will never find another quite like this one! I respect Sanyo greatly for such an outstanding product.

Excellent line of cordless phones.......2000-05-16

I bought the next one up 937A which is exactly the same except that it includes a speaker phone ability on the handset(it works great and is crisp and clear with good volume and no need to shout to be heard either). I used to have a SBC cordless that never worked properly, this is an excellent phone in every way and even CR gives it high marks. I can take the handset across the street to a park and walk at least a 1/4 mile(probably more) in to the park with trees over head and I can still make a very clear phone call(great for walking the dog or just relaxing in the park on a sunny day, no need to bring my cell phone), and the base is in my apartment on the 12th floor. I love this phone. It is a good value too.

A good phone.......2000-02-25

IIt is a good phone with good sound and range. It's sister phone (looks just like it) is a speakerphone that received the highest ranking on cordless phone report.

The only trick -- it looks like it has a lighted keypad but it doesn't.

Overall -- definitely would recommend. Price is very good for a DSS phone.
