From the Manufacturer

Harman Kardon HK 3490: Delivering Power with Passion

Great sound stirs the passion and emotion that connect us to our favorite movies, favorite musical artists, even our favorite video games. Delivering great sound has been a Harman Kardon passion for more than 50 years.

To deliver all the detail and realism from what you're listening to, the HK 3490 uses a high-current power supply. Current is the energy, created by the amplifier, that moves and controls the loudspeaker drivers. The more current that an amplifier generates, the more real-world power your system has on hand. The HK 3490 uses a large power transformer to deliver more current, so you always have the power you need, even at high listening levels. All of your favorite sounds--from cinematic explosions to the beat of your favorite song--are played effortlessly and with incredible realism.

So sit back and listen. The HK 3490 has the power and passion to stir your soul.

Connect with Your System

Bring Satellite Radio in from the Car

If you've invested in an XM satellite radio subscription, why enjoy it only in the car?

The Harman Kardon HK 3490 gives you the world of XM satellite radio right from the comfort of your couch. Just attach an optional XM-ready antenna module designed for home listening, and activate XM service for it. That's it. You can now browse all that great XM content using the HK 3490's remote control. (XM service required, antenna module sold separately)

So sit back and enjoy all that XM satellite radio has to offer. With the HK 3490, it's never been easier.

Spend More Quality Time with Your iPod

Just as easily as the HK 3490 can connect to the time-honored turntable, it can connect you to all the music and movies stored on your iPod. And the HK 3490 makes it easy with the optional The Bridge II (sold separately) docking station for iPod.

A universal dock that connects with a single cable, The Bridge II lets you navigate your music and video libraries using the HK 3490's remote.

Browse your iPod the way you usually do, whether by artist, album or genre. Audio is played back in rich, room-filling detail that only a Harman Kardon audio system can deliver.

And The Bridge II keeps your iPod fully changed even when the receiver is powered off.

With the Harman Kardon 3490 and The Bridge II, there's no better way to get the most from your iPod at home.

Multichannel Extras from a Two-Channel Amplifier

It should come as no surprise that the HK 3490 will delight audiophiles with its powerful, high-current amplifier and high-performance phono preamp. What is surprising is finding a stereo receiver with as many multichannel extras as the HK 3490. It's the perfect building block for that second system or for when only two speakers will work.

It starts with digital audio inputs for the best-sounding connection possible to CD players, DVD players and even satellite dishes. Add composite video switching and an included A/V cable for portable media players, and the HK 3490 instantly brings high-quality Harman Kardon sound not only to your music, but to movies and television programs, too.

When it comes to surrounding yourself with sound, you won't feel left out, even though the HK 3490 is a stereo receiver. Engage the Dolby Virtual Speaker surround mode and you'll be amazed by the realism and feeling of sound coming from all around you--all from just a pair of speakers. And why not add a powered subwoofer...or two? The HK 3490 features dual subwoofer outputs to complete the high-performance listening experience.

So go ahead and enjoy. It's not often that you get more than you bargained for.
