Californian AudioVisual giant Harman Kardon has always had a somewhat limited following here in the UK. Why this is the case we do not know. With technologies like VMAX and Harman's excellent Logic 7 processing (as designed for their high-end Lexicon brand), build quality and style like this, and simple to understand setup and control, one would think these boxes would lead the march on Home Cinema products.
With a musical side to their amps, much like Arcams do, Harman products make for an ideal basis for a living room based home cinema system where many AV products are geared toward the dedicated Home Cinema room installation. All the family can use the simple layout of the learning remote, the amp performs very well for stereo (or multi-channel) music playback, and with higher models will have no issue throwing some background music into the kitchen and dining room too! Even if the main room wants to enjoy some TV watchin'!
High performance at a highly attractive price. The AVR 335 features a seven-channel, high-current amplifier with power enough for the most demanding digital soundtracks, all of the popular surround sound modes plus a few of the rarer ones (Pro-Logic IIx, DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital Virtual Speaker), component video switching, an EzSet remote and a complete multiroom system with a standard Zone II remote. Plus front-panel inputs for analog and digital sources, as well as composite and S-Video jacks, for quick connections to digital cameras, camcorders or video games.
