Good receiver at a decent price
Strengths: Powerful receiver, sleek design, lots of connectors. On-screen graphics are easy to read. 7.1 receiver.
Weakness: The unit needs a firmware update (using a serial cable) which in itself can be a frustrating experience. Also the remote is hideous.
I've bought this receiver on sale after extensive research. I was pleasantly surprised by it clean, full sound and very nice design. The unit needs to have its firmware updated which can be done directly from your computer if you have a serial cable; otherwise needs to be sent to an authorized service. The firmware updating process is a frustrating experience, but I managed to get it done....

Whoa, 55 watts per channel sounds like this?!
Strengths: Amazing sound quality, sleak design, connectivity.
Weakness: Poor instruction manual.
I recently purchased this receiver amid mixed reviews because the price was good and the Harman/Kardon name carried such prestige. Although I knew HK always rates its wattage per channel lower than other receivers I was still unsure whether it would deliver the power that I wanted... well it does! Though some reviews are unfavorable they all agree that the sound quality is excellent and it is...

HK Better Than Ever
Strengths: Sound quality, easy to use, and multiple functions
Weakness: None
Once again Harmon Kardon delivers sound quality second to none. There are a lot of extras that are on the receiver. If you want a great receiver to start your home theater experience then this is the one. A little pricey but well worth it.

Wonderful Reciever
Strengths: Easy Setup, Easy to use, Looks nice, Incredible sound quality
Weakness: A little short on inputs
I really like this receiver. It was extremely easy to set up thanks to well laid out inputs, and instructions. It was also easy to adjust the speakers just using a special microphone it comes with to balance it properly. The only problem I had was that it does not have an input for a record played, but those aren't used much so it is not a big problem.

Very Good Receiver
Strengths: Great sound quality; HDMI sound
Weakness: Center speaker randomly loses sound
The sound on this receiver excellent; don't be fooled by the apparently modest power rating, Harman Kardon specifies the true power and I can confirm that this is more than enough. The receiver is very easy to setup and has all the connections that you need. The main advantage is the fact that you can listen to uncompressed digital surround sound. I have connected to my PS3 and watching Blu-Ray...
