7.1-channel sound at 100 watts per channel
Harman Kardon engineers have built the AVR 270 audio/video receiver for a premium home theatre experience. No room is too big for the receiver’s high-current, 100-watt-per-channel amplifier. And speaking of the channels: With 7.1 of them, the AVR 270 empowers you to add an extra dimension to the traditional five-channel surround-sound setup, or go with 5.1 channels in a main viewing room and use the extra two channels to power the sound in another room.
Multizone functionality
The AVR 270 receiver can simultaneously play two different sound sources in two different zones. When you choose to connect your main system to 5.1 channels, you can use its other two sound channels as an independent system in a second room.
DLNA 1.5 certified connectivity
Hear your networked media sources as never before in pitch-perfect surround sound. DLNA 1.5 enables the AVR 270 to stream audio from compatible devices on your home network, allowing you to enjoy them with a level of quality that you would not have thought possible.
HARMAN Music Manager (available via download)
This free, downloadable software enables your AVR 270 to enjoy DLNA compatibility with your Mac OS devices or Windows® operating system. And it even helps organize and clean up the cover art on your music files.
AirPlay

Eco-friendly design
Lighter. Greener. Louder.
