INTRODUCTION 3
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon! 
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon 
AVR 7300 you are about to begin many years of
listening enjoyment. Designed to provide all the
excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and
every nuance of musical selections, the
AVR 7300 is truly a multichannel receiver for the
new millennium. In addition to the traditional
5.1 digital decoding modes such as Dolby Digital
and DTS, it offers the latest advancements in sur-
round technology such as Dolby Pro Logic II, the
full suite of DTS-ES 6.1 modes, DTS Neo:6 and
the latest 7.1 channel versions of Harman's own
Logic 7 technology.
The AVR 7300 has been engineered so that it is
easy to take advantage of all the power of its
digital technology. On-screen menus, fully color
coded connection jacks and terminals and our
exclusive EzSet
remote make installation fast
and simple. However, to obtain the maximum
enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you
to read this manual. A few minutes spent
learning the functions of the various controls
will enable you to take advantage of all the
power the AVR is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its
installation or its operation, please contact your
retailer or custom installer. They are your best
local sources of information.
Description and Features
The AVR 7300 is among the most versatile and
multifeatured A/V receivers available, incorporat-
ing a wide range of listening options. In addition
to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digital
sources, a broad choice of surround modes for
Matrix surround-encoded or Stereo recordings
are available for use with sources such as CD,
VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR’s own FM/AM
tuner. Along with Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES
®
,
Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, Dolby 3 Stereo,
5 Channel or 7 Channel Stereo and Hall and
Theater modes, the AVR 7300 offers Harman
International’s exclusive Logic 7 process in both
5.1 and 7.1 versions to create a wider, more
enveloping field environment and more defined
fly-overs and pans. Although the AVR 7300’s
primary use will be in multichannel systems,
advanced technology is at work even when only
two speakers are used. Dolby Virtual Speaker and
Harman International’s proprietary VMAx
®
are
both available to create enveloping sound fields
from front left and right speakers, and the latest
Dolby Headphone circuitry creates an amazing
sense of openness with headphones. Two-chan-
nel listening with analog sources is available
with full bass management or in a traditional
“bypass” mode that creates a straight signal
path from the gain stage to the volume control.
Finally, the AVR is among the very few A/V
receivers that offer decoding of MP3 data, so
that you may listen to the latest music selections
directly from compatible computers or playback
devices with the power and fidelity you expect
from Harman Kardon.
The AVR is also featuring HDCD
®
decoding to
provide the most realistic playback of CDs when
a digital connection is used, even with a normal
non-HDCD-compatible CD or DVD player.
Along with the many listening options, the 
AVR 7300 offers numerous settings that let you
customize the system. A Quadruple Crossover
bass management system configures each
speaker group for a different crossover setting,
while the assignable, wide bandwidth compo-
nent video inputs may be linked to any video
source. To further enhance the viewing experi-
ence with digital video sources or advanced digi-
tal video displays, the AVR 7300’s A/V Sync Delay
feature allows you to compensate for the loss of
lip sync common in many video processing sys-
tems by delaying the audio signal independently
for each input.
For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 7300
features connections for five video devices, all
with both composite and S-Video inputs. Two
additional audio inputs are available, and a total
of eight digital inputs and four outputs make the
AVR capable of handling all the latest digital
audio sources.
Coax and optical digital outputs are available for
direct connection to digital recorders, and the
front panel analog audio/video jacks may be
switched to outputs for use with portable
recorders – a Harman Kardon exclusive.
Two video recording outputs, preamp-out and
and a color-coded eight-channel input make the
AVR virtually future-proof, with everything need-
ed to accommodate tomorrow’s new formats
right on board.
In recognition of the importance of video in
advanced home theater systems, the AVR 7300
offers a wide range of video processing options,
thanks to DCDi™ by Faroudja processing, which
upsamples incoming composite and S-Video to
480P for simple connections with today’s “digital
ready” HDTV displays. A wide range of video
processing options improve video quality, and
exclusive to Harman Kardon, these settings may
be individually customized for each video input,
rather than applied globally.
The AVR 7300’s flexibility and power extend
beyond your main home theater or listening
room. The AVR includes a sophisticated multi-
zone control system that allows you to select
one source for use in the main room and a dif-
ferent one in a second room. Complete control
over volume is possible with a separate infrared
control link. To make it easy to operate the AVR
from a remote room, a separate “Zone II”
remote is included.
Additional multiroom options include the option
to assign two of the AVR’s output channels to
the multiroom system and the ability to link the
AVR to innovative A-BUS
®
keypads for multiroom
operation without the need for external ampli-
fiers.
The AVR 7300’s powerful amplifier uses
traditional Harman Kardon high-current design
technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of
any program selection.
Finishing touches for the AVR 7300 include all
the extras you expect from a flagship receiver:
Harman Kardon’s patented EzSet remote with an
LCD display, an RS-232 port for bi-directional
remote control and software upgradeability and
much, much more. Combining state-of-the-art
digital processing with the proven performance
of Harman Kardon’s high-current, ultrawide
bandwidth amplifier design, the AVR 7300 is
truly the latest landmark product in 
Harman Kardon’s more than 55-year history of
delivering the finest in home audio/video
products.

Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR 7300 has been designed for use with
220-240-Volt AC current. Connection to a line
voltage other than that for which it is intended
can create a safety and fire hazard and may
damage the unit.
If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or about
the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer
before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord
attached to your unit. We do not recommend
that extension cords be used with this product.
As with all electrical devices, do not run power
cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy
objects on them. Damaged power cords should
be replaced immediately by an authorized serv-
ice depot with a cord meeting factory specifica-
tions.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC
outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord.
If you do not intend to use the unit for any
considerable length of time, disconnect the plug
from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside
this product. Opening the cabinet may present a
shock hazard, and any modification to the prod-
uct will void your guarantee. If water or any
metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit, discon-
nect it from the AC power source immediately,
and consult an authorized service station.
Installation Location
■ To assure proper operation and to avoid the
potential for safety hazards, place the unit on
a firm and level surface. When placing the
unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and
any mounting hardware can support the
weight of the product.
■ Make certain that proper space is provided
both above and below the unit for ventilation.
If this product will be installed in a cabinet or
other enclosed area, make certain that there
is sufficient air movement within the cabinet.
Under some circumstances a fan may be
required.
■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted
surface.
■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold
locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.
■ Avoid moist or humid locations.
■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of the unit, or place objects directly over
them.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immedi-
ately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene,
aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other
volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal
parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect
any interconnection cords with other compo-
nents, and make certain that you disconnect the
unit from the AC outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect your new receiver during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration. We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by care-
fully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and
collapsing the carton. Other cardboard inserts
may be stored in the same manner. Packing
materials that cannot be collapsed should be
saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materi-
als, please note that the carton and other sec-
tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.
Please respect the environment and discard
those materials at a local recycling center.
