Reviews of the Harman/Kardon HS 300

CNET Review
The Good: Sleek jet-black AV receiver/DVD-Audio/Video player; HDMI and USB connectivity; five two-way satellites; matching 10- inch, 200-watt, powered subwoofer.
The Bad: Awkward remote; quirky setup menu navigation takes some getting used to; no automatic speaker calibration; video upscaling should be better at this price.
The Bottom Line: If you can look past the quirky interface and high price, the sexy Harman Kardon HS 300 delivers sophisticated styling, solid performance, and better connectivity and speakers than last year's model.
