The Harman Kardon(R) AVR 254 is the most affordable Harman Kardon receiver to feature both Dolby(R) TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio(TM) decoding on the audio side, and Faroudja DCDi Cinema(R) video processing to 1080p on the video side. But there's plenty more to recommend the AVR 254, including three HDMI(TM) inputs, connections for external amplifiers, EzSet/EQ(TM) technology to fine-tune your system to the acoustics of your room, and an RS-232 port for future firmware upgrades. Perhaps the highest recommendation of all? As do all Harman Kardon A/V receivers, the AVR 254 features a high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth design for maximum fidelity.

Comments about HARMAN AVR254 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver:
I was previously using an Onkyo purchased in 2000. I have my AVR 254 hooked up to Bose 15. The sound is crystal clear. The power is plenty. The set up is simple and the video processing works as described. Great receiver for the money! Major sound difference.
