Harman Kardon CP-65


$1,600.00 Released September, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Audio clarity and detail are very good. Surround effect is excellent, provides a good sense of space. General operation is pretty straight-forward, not very complicated.

The Cons:Not capable of very loud volume, restricted to small or medium sized rooms. All devices look a little basic and boxy, a bit of an ugly design. Setup instructions are a bit confusing.

The Harmon Kardon CP-65 is a 5.1 channel DVD theater system comprised of an A/V receiver, DVD player, and loudspeaker system.  The included 7.1 channel AVR 347 receiver produces 385 watts of power (55 watts per channel) and features DCDI by Faroudja processing, HDMI 1.2a connectivity, video upscaling to 720p, and A-BUS multiroom capability.
