Lighter box. Bigger sound

This 375-watt, high-performance, 5.1-channel A/V receiver makes your music, movies and shows sound better than ever. Whether it’s your Blu-ray™ player, HD cable set-top box or game console, you want the best picture quality and sound. And you need one simple way to connect them all. The Harman Kardon® AVR 1510S is a 5.1-channel, networked audio/video receiver that provides you with four 3D-ready HDMI® inputs with 4K pass-through. Plug them in once, and you’re all set. With built-in Spotify Connect feature, you can stream directly Music from your Spotify premium account on your phone, tablet or computer on the same network, and built-in vTuner™ Internet radio connects you to a whole world of online audio entertainment. Versatile and muscular, the AVR 1510S can pump out up to 375 watts; with it, you’ll hear powerful audio with all the clarity you’ve come to love from Harman Kardon products. The receiver is lighter, too, thanks to HARMAN GreenEdge™ certification. You’ll experience serious power, only now in an environmentally friendly form factor. And if you’re one of those who enjoy even more control, the Harman Kardon Remote app is available for download – giving you the freedom to control your home theater experience from the comfort of your own device. Sleek, light and powerful, the Harman Kardon AVR 1510S is the perfect balance between versatility and beautiful sound.

The AVR 1510S high-performance, audio/video receiver pumps out 75 watts per channel to power a full 5.1-channel surround sound system. It can also connect to powered subwoofers to provide enhanced low-frequency performance for your music, movies, HDTV shows, sports and video games. While the amplifier retains the time-tested Harman Kardon high-current-capacity (HCC), ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier design to ensure the most accurate, dynamic sound with enhanced clarity and realism, even at the highest listening levels, a digitally based power supply gives the amplifier all the muscle it needs without the weight of traditional power-supply designs and their heavy transformers. The net result is a great-sounding product in a smaller form factor that is friendly to the environment.
The AVR 1510S can connect to compatible Apple devices, such as the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, directly via its front-panel USB jack, and play their content without the need for an external adapter. The AVR 1510S also features Spotify Connect, which allows you to stream music directly from your Spotify premium account on your phone, tablet or computer.
The AVR 1510S features vTuner Internet radio technology to connect you to a whole world of online audio entertainment. As soon as it’s out of the box, you can stream over-the-air radio stations from around the globe as well as stream from a wide range of Internet-only radio stations.
Four HDMI inputs with 3D and 30/36-bit Deep Color deliver high-definition digital video at resolutions up to 1080p with full-fidelity audio through a single cable. There is no loss of video or audio quality because of format conversion, just full-impact Hollywood excitement as its creators meant you to experience it. And because it features 4K passthrough, your ultra-high definition videos will make it all the way to compatible television screens.
The AVR 1510S gives you more options for audio playback with its front-panel USB port. Simply connect an iPhone, iPad or USB stick to play your stored tracks through your home entertainment system.

The HARMAN GreenEdge logo assures you that the AVR 1510S’s design is environmentally friendly without compromising the premium performance for which HARMAN products are known.

The AVR 1510S takes the award-winning Harman Kardon design look to a new level with a flush volume control and more compact design.

For further installation flexibility, there is a 12-volt trigger output and a remote IR sensor input.

FAQs & How-Tos

  • Yes, in the HDMI Setup Menu, it is possible to select either �Sound To TV� or �Sound To Amp�, Amp being the AVR. This detail is not mentioned in the owner's manual.
  • We designed the USB folder data to show the latest modified folder and it is a design preference. It is not possible to change this setting.
  • This is sometimes a problem with wired connections to computers or NAS drives. There is no way to change this, unfortunately.
  • Typically when we are talking about projectors, they are normally installed in a place where the HDMI cable is too long, and the signal has a hard time reaching the AVR. It is also possible that the projector is not compatible with the AVR. To be sure it works with the AVR, please move projector closer and use a short HDMI cable. We recommend a cable that is 3 meters in length or less. If the projector works with the shorter cable, and you have no choice but to use a longer cable, you will need an HDMI repeater/amplifier/eq/booster (name varies depending on the manufacturer), to boost the signal so that it can make it all the way from the AVR to the projector.
  • The Harman AVR App controls your receiver through your smartphone, which communicates via your wireless home network. Please make sure that your AVR is properly connected to your network router, with cable for the smaller models. If you have no wireless home network, you cannot use the app.
  • Yes, on your computer, enter the IP address of the receiver in the internet browser. In the page that opens, it is possible to change the name.
  • For your personal safety and to avoid possible damage to your equipment and speakers, it is always a good practice to turn off and unplug the AVR and ALL source equipment from the AC output before making any audio or video system connections.
  • Yes, our AVR's have ARC (Audio Return Channel) on one of our HDMI ports (Labeled ARC). ARC will process both video and audio coming from your TV into the AVR and back, and if you have another source like BlueRay player in one of the other HDMI ports. It will transfer video and audio via the ARC port to your TV.
  • There are five possible reasons for the receiver shutting down. 1. There is a problem internally with the receiver. 2. There is a problem with one or more of your speakers. 3. There is a problem with one or more of your speaker wires. 4. There is a problem with the speaker wiring done on your system. 5. The unit is overheating. No ventilation. First, check the wiring at every speaker terminal at the back of your receiver and at the back of your speakers. A single strand of speaker wire crossing from one terminal to another would be enough to cause the amp to shut down or go into PROTECT. If you do not find any problems with any of the wiring, you should disconnect all speakers from your receiver. If the receiver continues to go into PROTECT, the problem is in the receiver. Please submit a case on the Contact Us page. They will be able to assist you. However, if it turns on, the problem is elsewhere. Begin reconnecting one speaker at a time. Eventually you will connect a speaker that will cause the receiver to shut down. At this point you have found your culprit. On the other hand, it may just be overheating. You must have at least 2 - 3 inches of space between the top of the unit and any shelf or component above the unit. The unit should not be inside a sealed compartment when being used. The unit must be able to breath. There are very powerful amps in these receivers. If they run too hot, they will shut down. An external fan can help this.
  • If you have enabled HDMI-link (CEC function), then you will experience that your AVR will do some actions based on the CEC function coming from your TV, which in this case it will follow your TV when it goes into standby.
