Harman Kardon DPR 1001

$499.00 Released September, 2003

The Pros:Lots of inputs, many of which are assignable. Can map inputs, matching audio to video inputs without having to manually switch them as you go. No hiss or background noise at all, renders quiet subtle details very well.

The Cons:Can't deliver loud, powerful and punchy output without getting brittle or distorted.

The Harman/Kardon DPR 1001 is a mid-range digital A/V receiver with a total of 8 channels, each of which has average power output of 50W. It uses solely digital signals from input to amplifier, which means that it is compact and it has cool operating temperatures.
