AVR 161
Key Features
Five 85-watt-per-channel amplifiers with high-performance
digital power supply
The AVR 161 high-performance audio/video receiver pumps out
85 watts per channel to power a full five-channel, networked
surround-sound system. It can also connect to a powered
subwoofer to provide enhanced low-frequency performance
for all your entertainment. While the amplifiers retain the time-
tested Harman Kardon
®
high-current capacity (HCC) ultrawide-
bandwidth design to ensure the most accurate, dynamic sound
with enhanced clarity and realism – even at the highest listening
levels, a digitally based power supply gives the amplifiers all the
wattage they need without the weight of traditional power-supply
designs and their heavy transformers. The net result is a great-
sounding AVR in a small form that is friendly to the environment.
Bluetooth technology and DLNA 1.5 compliance
The AVR 161 can stream audio from virtually any portable
device. You can connect an Apple device, such as an iPad,
iPhone or iPod touch, directly to the front-panel USB jack and
playback without the need for an external adapter. For other
tablets, smartphones and laptops, you can take advantage of the
AVR161’s integrated HARMAN TrueStream Bluetooth technology.
The AVR is also DLNA 1.5 compliant, which gives you more
options for delivering content over your home network.
HARMAN TrueStream technology
The HARMAN TrueStream guarantee ensures the best possible
listening experience when you stream audio wirelessly via
Bluetooth technology. HARMAN TrueStream tech delivers the
most current, most advanced wireless option to ensure the
highest-quality sound, no matter what application or source
device you use.
Built-in vTuner (Internet radio) streaming
The AVR 161 features vTuner Internet radio to connect you to a
whole world of online audio entertainment. As soon as it’s out of
the box, you can stream over-the-air radio stations from around
the globe as well as stream from a wide range of Internet-only
radio stations.
Five 3D-ready HDMI inputs including one with MHL
Five HDMI inputs with 3D and 30/36-bit Deep Color deliver high-
definition digital video at resolutions up to 1080p with full-fidelity
audio through a single cable. There is no loss of video or audio
quality because of format conversion, just full-impact Hollywood
excitement as its creators meant you to experience it.
Front-panel USB port for connection to compatible Apple
products or USB sticks
The AVR 161 gives you multiple options for audio playback
with its front-panel USB port. Simply connect an iPhone, iPad,
iPod or USB stick to play your stored tracks through your home
entertainment system.
MHL connectivity
Whether it’s captured by your camera, phone or tablet, or
streamed from a Roku Streaming Stick dongle, you can deliver
high-definition audio/video content directly to your HDTV via the
AVR 161’s MHL connection.
Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding
The AVR 161 delivers high-resolution audio that matches the
digital video quality of Blu-ray Disc
TM
formats, unlocking the full
potential of movie soundtracks formatted with Dolby TrueHD and
DTS-HD Master Audio decoding. No matter what mode or mood
you are in, you’ll always hear audio playback at its finest.
EzSet/EQ III auto-calibration
The new HARMAN EzSet/EQ III auto-calibration process precisely
adjusts the AVR 161’s volume levels, speaker distance/delay
time settings and equalisation to optimise audio performance
automatically for your specific speaker system and room
conditions. The system features an easy-to-follow menu display
and includes a plug-in calibration microphone.
HARMAN GreenEdge technology
The HARMAN GreenEdge logo assures you that the AVR 161’s
design is environmentally friendly without compromising the
premium performance for which HARMAN products are known.
Thanks to an advanced power supply, the AVR 161 can deliver
high-quality audio in a small, light chassis that uses less metal
and plastic. The small design means that less fuel is used in
transportation with the end result being a lower carbon footprint.
New, compact design
The AVR 161 takes the award-winning Harman Kardon look to a
new level with a flush volume control and more compact design.
Because of the lighter weight made possible by an advanced
digital power supply, the unit weighs less without sacrificing
performance so that it is the perfect match for the thin glass
shelves of today’s open TV/entertainment furniture.
Colour-coded connectors and binding-post speaker terminals
All connections on the AVR 161 are colour-coded to simplify
hook-up and reduce errors. Colour-coded binding post speaker
terminals on all output channels accept pin connectors or bare
wire to provide secure links for your speaker cables.
Multidevice, programmable remote control
The AVR 161 simplifies your life with a programmable infrared
(IR) remote control. It works seamlessly with the receiver’s
multilingual on-screen display, guiding you through system setup
and operation with consummate ease. The multidevice remote
can also control your TV, cable boxes, satellite tuners and other
playback sources. For further installation flexibility, there is a 12-volt
trigger output and a remote IR sensor input.
Harman Kardon remote app for compatible iOS and Android
smartphones and tablets
Taking control to the next level, the Harman Kardon remote app
is available from the iTunes App Store for iOS devices and the
GooglePlay service for compatible Android products. It will
let you use your compatible smartphone or tablet to drive the
AVR161 without picking up the remote.
Beautiful sound for all of your treasured devices
