While the AVR 171’s connectivity alone makes it desirable, its sound really strikes a chord. It’s the first Harman Kardon AVR to feature our exclusive Natural Sound Processing (NSP), which creates a rich, enveloping surround-sound from any source – particularly with two-channel streaming content. And its EzSet/EQ™ III system automatically calibrates the AVR to your speakers and listening environment. The AVR 171 is light, too, thanks to HARMAN GreenEdge™ certification – delivering all the power you need with low environmental impact. For those who want it all, the AVR 171 can’t be matched.
The AVR 171 high-performance audio/video receiver pumps out 100watts per channel to power a full seven-channel surround-sound system. It canalso connect to two powered subwoofers to provide enhanced low-frequencyperformance for all your entertainment. While the amplifier retains thetime-tested, high-current-capacity (HCC), ultrawide-bandwidth Harman Kardondesign to ensure the most accurate, dynamic sound with enhanced clarity andrealism – even at the highest listening levels – a digitally based power supplygives the amplifiers all the muscle they need without the weight of traditionalpower-supply designs and their heavy transformers. The net result is agreat-sounding AVR in a small form factor that’s friendly to the environment.
The AVR 171 can stream audio from virtually any portable device.For Apple devices, such as computers and the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, youcan stream using the receiver’s built-in AirPlay technology.
