A powerful, 7.1-channel A/V receiver with HDMI 3D plus Dolby, DTS and Logic 7 surround.

You know that the latest Blu-ray Disc™ movie or high-definition broadcast is going to look great on your high-definition display, but what about everything else? The Harman Kardon AVR 3600 improves the look of standard-definition video with advanced Faroudja® Torino processing, automatically upscaling lower-resolution sources to the 1080p HD standard. You can also independently configure your display settings and specify the optimal picture quality and aspect ratio for sources such as game consoles or your DVD collection. And what the AVR 3600 does for video, it also does for audio. Harman Kardon receivers have earned worldwide accolades for their uncompromising sound quality, and the AVR 3600 builds upon this renowned heritage. It incorporates the brand’s acclaimed, high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier sections, which generate 80 watts for each of the receiver’s seven channels. Whether it’s the exciting sound of explosions from the latest movie or the detailed nuances of your favorite musical artist, the AVR 3600’s amplifier delivers sound with uncompromised realism, dynamics and subtlety. When it comes to surround-sound decoding, the AVR 3600 has you covered. In addition to decoding the latest Blu-ray Disc™ and surround formats such as Dolby® TrueHD and DTS®-HD™ Master Audio, the AVR 3600 also includes proprietary Logic 7® processing, which is capable of generating discrete 5.1-channel or 7.1-channel sound from traditional two-channel sources. There is even a MP3 Music Enhancer mode, which will bring new life to any compressed digital music.

The AVR 3600 high-performance receiver delivers 85 watts per channel with the ability to power a full 7.1-channel surround-sound system. A high-current capability (HCC), ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier design ensures accurate, dynamic sound with enhanced clarity and realism, even at the highest listening levels. You can also connect the AVR 3600 to a powered subwoofer to generate additional low-frequency excitement.
Four HDMI inputs with 3D and 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.
The AVR 3600 delivers high-resolution audio to match the digital video of Blu-ray Disc formats, unlocking the full potential of movie soundtracks formatted with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio coding. No matter what mode or mood you are in, you’ll always hear playback at its finest.
Dolby Volume technology maintains the same volume level no matter what entertainment you’re viewing. You need to set the AVR 3600 volume level only once to eliminate unpredictable volume differences among TV shows, commercials and movies.
HARMAN Logic 7 technology transforms a stereo input into full 7.1-channel surround sound, courtesy of proprietary algorithms that make any audio source – HDMI, analog, component, composite or computer-based audio from a USB connection – truly spectacular. The result is optimal quality and a superior, enveloping experience that engulfs you in a 360-degree soundscape.
Four HDMI input ports let you digitally interconnect your entire system for maximum audio/video performance. HDMI-format ports dramatically reduce connection confusion while ensuring the greatest chance for compatibility with whatever audio/video equipment you are planning to connect.
The HARMAN EzSet/EQ™ auto-calibration process tailors the AVR 3600’s loudspeaker outputs to match playback volume levels for your specific room conditions automatically. The system features an easy-to-follow menu display and a plug-in calibration microphone.
The supplied Harman Kardon The Bridge III docking station works with an Apple iPod or iPhone to expand your entertainment options beyond DVD and Blu-ray Disc media. Once connected, The Bridge III even charges your Apple device and works seamlessly with the AVR 3600’s system remote control to navigate and play your favorite music and video tracks.
Faroudja DCDi Cinema processing dramatically reduces video artifacts from digital or analog signals. The result is fewer lines and a smoother picture – especially when there is movement across your TV screen. Faroudja DCDi Cinema technology also upscales lower-resolution video to the 1080p high-definition standard, thereby extending the life of your movie library.
If you need only five playback channels for your surround-sound system instead of seven – or you elect not to use the extra rear-surround outputs – you can use the two additional amplifier channels to set up a second playback zone in the house. For added convenience, the AVR 3600 features a pair of I/O (input/output) connectors for a remote infrared (IR) receiver that can control volume and mute functions for playback within Zone 2, in addition to a separate A-BUS® IR output.
