| Jason_Flynn's Full Review: harman/kardon AVR 110 5.1 Channels Receiver |
(4-4-02 UPDATE: received unit last week from repair shop, and has been fully repaired. Glad to have it back and happy again. It was 2 components on the "secondary board" which were replaced, a resistor and a capacitor as I recall.)
First the good:
This AVR looks and sounds really nice, and comes at a good price for a good brand. The 45 watts really sound good, like the unit is put together and designed well.
I also like that it remembers settings and levels for each individual input.
However...
Mine developed a problem, namely that it would shut off within a moment of being turned on. It only does this some of the time. I tried calling their tech support, and it was not a shorted speaker wire like they suspected. We tried many fixes to no avail.
I had to take it to a shop (which was a really dirty, grimy shop in a not-so-nice neighborhood in Dallas) and the repair guy said it would be a few weeks. I hope he can fix it, as intermittent problems can be tough.
I bought my unit refurbished from harmanaudio.com for about $285 and now I have nothing. Will post a follow-up when it's all over.
Recommended:
Yes
Amount Paid (US$): 285
