The Harman Kardon HS 300 features a combo AV receiver/DVD player and a 5 -piece satellitespeaker package. The HS 300 AV receiver is conservatively rated at 35 watts for each of its five channels, but in actual use, the HTIB seemed as powerful as any of the 1,000-watt systems we've tested. Numbers are just numbers, and since the Federal Trade Commission no longer keeps manufacturers on the up and up, HTIB power ratings are meaningless. If you care about power and want to play movies or music really loud, buy a powerful AV receiver (or better yet, separate components). Standard Dolby and DTS surround processing are included with the HS 300 and the DVD player can also play DVD-Audio discs.
The receiver/DVD player's connectivity is a mixed bag. You get the standard DVD video outputs--composite, S-Video, component, and HDMI (with up to 1080i upscaling)--but no video inputs. That means that you will have to hook up all of your other video sources, such as a cable box and games, directly to your TV. Audio fares better--the HS 300 has two USB ports, two sets of stereo analog inputs, one analog output, two digital inputs (one coaxial and one optical), and one coaxial digital output. That means the HS 300 can accept two surround audio sources--say, a game console and a cable/satellite box--as well as two stereo audio sources, in addition to the USB hookups. We also noted the receiver has IR remote in and out jacks, plus a "sub trigger" connection to turn the sub's power on and off. The speaker connectors accept bare wires or banana plugs, and the receiver has a side-mounted 3.5mm headphone jack next to one of the USB ports.
