January 3, 2008

The Harman Kardon CP 65, CP 60 and CP 55 system solutions are complete high-performance home theater packages built around the brand's AVR 347, AVR 247 and AVR 146 audio/video receivers. All three systems include a DVD player, 5.1-channel loudspeaker system, unified system remote control, and accessories. The receivers incorporate advanced features to offer exceptional performance. The 7.1-channel AVR 347 and AVR 247 include DCDi® by Faroudja technology, which provides high-definition video processing and scaling to deliver superlative video playback quality from their HDMI™ or component video outputs. All three receivers are capable of passing high-definition video signals up to 1080p through their HDMI or component video connections. The receivers offer a host of additional features, including the company's proprietary EzSet/EQ™ or EzSet™ automated system calibration; XM® Satellite Radio* and multiroom-audio capability (AVR 347 and AVR 247); high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier sections; and other refinements. All of the receivers also include an exclusive iPod® interface that provides enhanced iPod audio and video playback and control capabilities in a home entertainment system, when a compatible iPod model (not included) is connected to one of the receivers using The Bridge docking station from Harman Kardon (sold separately). The DVD 48 universal DVD player included with the CP 65, and the DVD 38 DVD-Audio/Video player supplied with the CP 60 and CP 55 are engineered to deliver superlative audio and video performance. Both models include an HDMI output. The DVD 48 incorporates built-in DCDi by Faroudja processing and scaling to 1080p; the DVD 38 features upscaling to 1080i. Both offer an intuitive navigational interface, advanced features, and comprehensive disc-playback capabilities. The loudspeaker packages in the systems include wall-mountable satellite and center channel speakers, plus a powered subwoofer. All incorporate premium-quality drivers and components for clear, expansive sound.
