The Harman Kardon® BDS 7772 will transform the way you enjoy movies and music. This full-featured system includes a 5.1-channel 3D Blu-ray Disc™ player (which also plays CDs and DVDs) with three HDMI® inputs and one output (including Audio Return Channel), an FM receiver, wireless audio streaming via Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay compatibility, four voice-matched satellite loudspeakers, a center-channel loudspeaker with dual midrange drivers and a powered subwoofer with an integral 60-watt amplifier. The result is a powerful system that provides full-range, enveloping sound throughout a large, 360-degree listening area. Built-in Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD™ surround-sound decoding ensures that the BDS 7772 reproduces movies and music from virtually any source, including online sources such as YouTube and Picasa, as well as iPod and other Apple mobile devices via a convenient front-panel USB port. The system’s intuitive, on-screen setup menus help you get up and running easily. And its ergonomically-designed remote control can operate not just the BDS 7772 but also your TV, cable box and satellite tuner. But the BDS 7772 is more than powerful and versatile. It’s remarkably compact and won’t clutter up your listening room. As a perfect fit for most shelves, counters or entertainment centers, this home theater system brings inspiring entertainment into your living room and will thoroughly transform your home listening experience.<CRLF><CRLF>
The BDS 7772’s five amplifiers, rated at 65 watts per channel, power the left, right, center and two surround loudspeakers, all of which feature voice-matched drivers and tweeters for consistent sound from speaker to speaker. This amplifier-speaker combination dramatically improves the clarity and realism of directional sounds, even at high listening levels.
Unlike conventional, front-firing subwoofers, the BDS 7772’s 60-watt, 8-inch (200-millimeter) powered sub fires downward, interacting with the floor for enhanced bass response. Volume, phase and bass-boost controls make it easy to synchronize bass output with the satellites and then fine-tune the system’s performance to match your room acoustics and personal preferences.
The BDS 7772 system is an all-in-one entertainment solution featuring a 3D Blu-ray Disc player with Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay, 3 HDMI inputs and one output, five matching loudspeakers with midrange drivers and tweeters and a downward-firing, 60-watt powered subwoofer.

The BDS 7772’s AirPlay compatibility lets you stream audio files from an Apple iOS® device or iTunes software on Mac or PC to your loudspeakers and your TV or flat-panel display. You can replay audio files from any compatible iPod, iPhone or iPad, and also control your Apple device using the unit’s programmable remote control.
HDMI connectivity helps you get the most from 3D sources, with the highest-quality digital video and audio. Three HDMI input connectors make it easy to connect 3D-capable HDMI components. And Audio Return Channel lets you listen to your TV’s audio through your home theater system instead of the TV speakers.
The BDS 7772’s surround-sound system handles all of your entertainment sources on both 5-inch (127-millimeter) and 3-inch (76-millimeter) disc formats, including BD-Video (single/double-layer), DVD-Video, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) and CD-R/RW discs.
No receiver operates in a vacuum. The BDS 7772 calibrates itself to its specific speaker system. Its enhanced EzSet/EQ feature automatically adjusts individual speaker volume levels, delay and equalization to create optimum performance in any room.
