Harmon Kardon AVR 247

[Bad8511]

I need some opinions. Is $200 a good price for the Harmon Kardon 247? It is about a year old. Seller says there is nothing wrong with it, just needs to get rid of it because he can't use it in his new apartment. Thanks in advance.

My buddy had a lower end model of Harmon Kardon. Im not totally sure if its the same model or not, but I would check and be sure that it can process the HDMI. His wasnt able to, was weird.

Yeah that is the AVR 146 which is what I have now. The 247 does pass audio and video thru HDMI.

i have that receiver. i abosolutly love it for watching bluray movies (Linear PCM). there is a glitch with watching non LPCM, for some reason it puts the volume of the sub a little bit higher. that is a good price, i payed around $400+ for mine last winter. if your looking to save money, get it. but i have heard that the newer models are a lot better.

not much difference with the newer models. Just another HDMI and upconverts to 1080i not 720. both are great units.
