The AVR 147 is a great piece,,,small enough to fit in a living room cabinet...yet carries enough power to run my Bose 15 5.1 surround speaker system...additional optical audio cables are needed when hooking up HDMI sources along with a monitor out lead to view the OSD { on screen display }...another fine receiver from an outstanding company

I'm still having problems using their EZ Set/EQ speaker set up. For something that is supposed to be easy, it isn't. My surround sound still doesn't seem right. If I had to do it over again, I would have kept my old Sony.



4 out of 5 stars Pretty darn good for the price   February 10, 2008

With the high current amp the 40 watts per channel sound great at full throttle. Plenty loud for my purpose. The HDMI works very well in this model for video. You can input an HDMI signal and it will output that signal using any source (component in my case) you can also input any signal and output HDMI. Biggest drawback is that the HDMI does not carry audio. Another negative is that the on screen menu is only carried to the TV using s-video or composite. I like the Bridge i-pod adaptor and XM radio ability. I use the Bridge and it works pretty well. What I hate is the remote. I am already looking for a replacement. If on the remote you select to listen to the Bridge, you don't have volume control until to go back to AVR. It's the same with any device you select on the remote; you always have to go back to AVR to control the volume and then back to the device to control it again. For the price it's a good deal.


4 out of 5 stars Super easy set-up   January 18, 2008
This a fine H/K product, great value. I'm using this AVR with H/K speakers including a 12",200 watt sub-woofer.
Positives: easy set-up, great directions, great sound. H/K's EzSet/EQ feature is super because one does not have to calibrate and configure manually, which to do correctly, requires an SPL meter. I doubt most consumers have one of these! Try to do it by "ear" an your wasting time. USE THIS FEATURE!
Negatives: Included speaker brackets work fine but are rather difficult to work with because of small size. If you are setting your speakers on shelves you don't have to worry.



5 out of 5 stars Harman Kardon AVR 147 Works Very Well   January 13, 2008

Here's my setup:
- Harman Kardon AVR 147 Home Theater Receiver
- Harman Kardon HKTS-18 5.1 Channel Speaker System
- Xbox 360 Elite
- Xbox 360 HD DVD Player
- Sharp - AQUOS 32" 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV

I have the XBox 360 connected to the H/K AVR 147 with an HDMI cable and a Rocketfish digital optical cable. The HDTV connects to H/K AVR 147 with another Rocketfish digital optical cable. The H/K AVR 147 connects to the HDTV with a Monster HDMI cable.

I first considered H/K for my home theater system because I have a H/K audio system in my car. This is my first home theater setup. The room I set the system up in is the perfect size for a 5.1 channel system. The directions are easy to follow and setup did not take long. It is really helpful having the speaker wires and AVR 147 inputs color coded. H/K customer service is very friendly, helpful, and fast (I asked if it was possible to remove the feet on the AVR 147. It is, but H/K does not recommend it.). Everything worked very well as soon as I turned it on. The audio and video quality is awesome. The blue volume knob looks really cool. The display on the AVR 147 is easy to read and very informative. The one complaint I have is: because I am using an HDMI cable to connect the AVR 147 to my HDTV, I do not get the on screen menus for the AVR 147 unless I connect a component cable specifically for the on screen menus. For a 5.1 channel system, at this price, with HDMI connectivity, I highly recommend this system.
