Pros Great looking and versatile
Cons Difficult to understand manual and setup
Recommended it? No

So I go into my nearby Circuit City store, and see the clerk in the components area. I'm shown the Harmon Kardon 510, as an open box special. This is an expensive receiver, selling for around $600 when it was current. Oh, this is not a 2002 model, which is another reason it's cheaper. I get it... Read full review »

A Cleverly Designed System Workhorse with a secret: an extended life

Pros Powerful, Clean Sound, Attractive and Thoughtful Design, Main amp inputs, Thorough...
Cons Video is switched natively...does not upconvert to S-Video.
Recommended it? Yes

First, some perspective:

The H/K 510 receiver dates to the late '00-late '01 model run and has since been superceded by the 520 and the just introduced 525. As an older model, it clearly suffers somewhat of a deficiency in terms of features. When compared to the newer models, the 510 is... Read full review »

Pros Great sound and a lot of features. Good customer support.
Cons None yet!
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this receiver as a replacement for my AVR 500 which I had to return because of a problem with the DTS decoder. See my review of the AVR 500 for more details. I decided to give them another chance because of the good experience we had with their support and their reputation for excellent... Read full review »

A Powerful, Versatile AV Receiver

byphilmer Feb 16, 2003

Pros Sonically excellent. Individual preamp outputs/power amp inputs. Versatile.
Cons Universal remote is not so universal.
Recommended it? Yes

My search for a home theater receiver began with a rather unusual requirement... The need to have preamp outputs and power amp inputs for each channel.

I needed this feature because my front speakers, a pair of vintage Altec Voice of the Theaters require biamplification, which involves... Read full review »

High quality receiver?

byorphius25 Mar 22, 2002
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looks are stunning, very powerful, good features, clean sound
Cons Quality problems with my particular unit
Recommended it? No

The way this receiver looked as well as the clean noise free sound it produces sold me on it. Unfortunately, I bought one that had been on display. It has probably been abused. The back light on the remote has never worked and when I turned it on there was a rather loud hum which continued until... Read full review »

Pros Sound quality, versatility, do-it-all remote, doesn't appear it'll become...
Cons READ THE DIRECTIONS FIRST!
Recommended it? Yes

***NOTE: This review is for the HK AVR520 which is the current model replacing the AVR510. It has a few more features and a tad more power.

I was looking around for a receiver to replace my 11-year-old Sony STR-D711 as the heart of my home entertainment system.

The following... Read full review »

Great Sound

Pros Excellent sound for price
Cons Control takes some getting used to.
Recommended it? Yes

Admittedly, as a comparison, I came from a much lower priced receiver, but the sound on this unit is excellent... so much richer. When hooked up to the Harmon Kardon DVD5 optically, the DTS kicks in, and the sound comes into it's own. The power output is rated lower than my old unit (70W compared... Read full review »

Pros Great bass and crystal clear sound.
Cons Lack of loudness.
Recommended it? Yes

This receiver is a great receiver to buy if you have money sitting around. I got it for free so it's not a big deal. I am very picky and at first I didn't think it would be a good receiver to get but when it came I was amazed. I just recently got a STR-DA1ES Sony receiver instead because of the...
