    Hey, I've got a really good home theater receiver up for sale now. This receiver is perfect for people who are looking for great sound quality in both music and movies in their home theater system.

    I've got to say that it's one of the best units you can buy at this price point. I've demoed everything in this segment, including Denon, Onkyo, Yamaha, and Sony; the Harman Kardon by far outperforms them all in sound quality, output, and features. Don't let the lower power output ratings fool you, HK measures their wattage continuously across the entire frequency range to a THD of 0.07%, rather than the typical peak single frequency at 1% THD rating. In fact, this receiver has been driving my 125W rated speakers without breaking a sweat at all!

    I got it for $900, and now I'll let it go for $550, which is a pretty good deal! My receiver is also near brand-new condition and will come with all remotes, manuals, and accessories, packed and sealed like a brand new unit in the original packaging and box. Pics are below, and I've also included a review praising the AVR 435.



    Greatness doesn't have to cost a mint. Harman Kardon's AVR 435 7.1-channel audio/video surround receiver boasts the company's latest features and technologies while offering near-universal surround-format compatibility. Internally, the receiver is engineered for amazing sonic performance, featuring a discrete-output amplifier pumping seven channels of high-current (+/-40 amps), ultrawide-bandwidth amplification--7 x 65 watts into 8 ohms, 20 to 20,000 Hz with less than 0.07 percent THD--in addition to state-of-the-art 192 kHz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog converters and a high-power Texas Instruments 32-bit DSP processor.

    Take a closer look at the AVR 435's connections. You can also view the unit's front panel and remote control in detail.
    The AVR 435's wealth of cutting-edge technologies also includes quadruple-crossover bass management, automatic digital input polling, bidirectional RS-232 connectivity with software and firmware upgradeability, and A/V sync delay. Surround sound features include Dolby Virtual Speaker, Dolby Headphone processing, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx processing (which provides an expansive, full-range 7.1-channel program from any stereo or 5.1-channel source). The receiver handles all other popular formats (including Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Digital 5.1), all standard DTS modes (including 6.1 DTS-ES Discrete, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS Neo:6, Cinema 6.1/5.1, and Music 6.1/5.1), and even the latest DTS 96/24 high-resolution audio technology. You also get Harman's proprietary Logic 7 audio for enhanced multichannel reproduction from both matrix-encoded and 2-channel recordings. The latest implementation of Logic 7 provides improved post-processing for the rear surround channels.

    The receiver's many audio and video connections include three wide-bandwidth, HDTV-compatible component-video inputs (two of which are assignable). The AVR 435 also features multiroom/multisource operation with independent, simultaneous playback of two program sources, assignable back surround amplifier channels, A-BUS connectivity, and includes a Zone II remote. The A-BUS Ready system simplifies multiroom connectivity without external amplifiers. It uses a standard Cat5/Ethernet cable to connect the receiver's rear panel in one room to a Harman Kardon AB 1 A-BUS-compatible amplifier/control module in a separate room.

    Along with its extensive video connectivity, the receiver offers a array of digital and analog audio connections, including multiple coaxial and optical digital audio inputs and outputs. It sports both analog and digital front-panel inputs, 6-/8-channel direct audio inputs, and 7.1-channel preamp outputs to accommodate a DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, or universal player.

    The AVR 435 is also among the first receivers to include EzSet/EQ, which provides automated system calibration and room equalization, which greatly simplifies installation as it improves system performance by tailoring the output of the receiver to your speakers, compensating for the effects of room acoustics.

    The receiver's quadruple-crossover bass-management system lets you choose from six different crossover frequencies for the front L/R, center, surround L/R, and surround back L/R speakers. Most receivers and DVD players have far more limited crossover filtering or none at all. Moreover, you can set different speaker-size configurations for different AVR 435 input sources according to your needs.

    You get a high-quality FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets and a Listener Preference System that lets you specify a surround mode according to the program source. You can also set speaker-channel levels for each program source and DSP format (for example, the subwoofer level can be set differently for multichannel movie viewing and 2-channel CD music listening).
    Thanks for reading and send me a PM!

    It can do HDTV switching via component rather than HDMI. Shouldn't be a huge deal if you've only got one 1080p source in your system. Everything else can be run on component. Here's a picture of the back:

    Bump for a sweet amp

    I own the exact same model and I'll vouch for a high quality amp loaded with power and features. This thing will likely be the last amp I buy for a long time.

    Did you look at his picture? No, it only has component switching.

    By the way...nice receiver Jeff!

    Hi, as I mentioned in my above post, this receiver does component HDTV switching, which is fine if you only have one 1080p source. In your case, you should hook your PS3 directly to your TV (assuming it's 1080p capable) and you can hook up your PVR via component through the receiver. Your HD PVR is 720p, which component is capable of delivering.

    If you insist on having HDMI switching even though it won't help your setup at all, you can buy this receiver for $550: http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/ser...40n32100n32104

    Anyone can tell you that this HK receiver is light years ahead of that Sony in pretty much every way, except for HDMI switching, which is something that won't benefit your setup.

    Sure did look at the picture. Its just way to confusing for me I am in the middle of renovating my basement and I have run 1 HDMI input in my wall. The idea behind it is I would like to have a receiver that my ps3, my upconverting dvd and my pvr hooks up to the and the receiver hooks up to my wall input. As well as any future "toys" that will use HDMI. I am a newbie to this home theatre and was just looking for a simple yes or no answer which you have given me.


    What a life.

    You don't need an HDMI reciever for that. Buy a multi-port HDMI switch, hook all the video up to that, and all the audio up to the amp. Pretty simple and brilliant seeing as how most amps don't have more than 2 HDMI inputs, if any at all. The one I bought is an Xtreme Mac Switch. Works great. Wish I needed an amp... I would buy this.
