Harman Kardon Stereo Amplifier (HK 3490)

The insanely powerful HK 3490 combines all of an audiophile’s must-haves (high performance phono preamp, preout/main-in jacks, high-current amplification) with an array of multi-channel extras (digital-audio inputs, video switching, dual subwoofer outputs and Dolby® Virtual Speaker technology). Add The Bridge II docking station, and the HK 3490 will connect as elegantly to your newfangled iPod as it does to your time-honoured turntable.

Built-in FM Tuner
A built-in tuner allows to listen to FM radio stations without the need for an external radio source

3.5 mm stereo input
The 3.5mm auxiliary input allows you to connect external (portable) sources, mostly through their headphone output

Receiver
An AV or Blu-ray Disc receiver is the heart of a home theatre system. It's primary purpose is to amplify sound from a multitude of audio/video sources as well as route these video signals to the user's television.
