• Home theatre system with 360-degree sound

  Home theatre system with 360-degree sound

  The Escape 3 Package presents sound the way it really is: In three dimensions and 360 degrees. When audio signals enter the system’s AVR 265 receiver, the receiver can process them for multiple channels and pass them to the ES250PW, ES25C, ES80 and ES10 speakers. This system includes virtually everything that you need for an entertainment centre except a screen.

• Stunning, décor-complementing modern design

  You’ll experience the finest in 3D entertainment at home when you combine the HDMI-compatible AVR 265 with a 3D-television, Blu-ray Disc™, cable or satellite TV source. Equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, the AVR 265 drastically reduces connection confusion. It also features HDMI Audio Return Channel technology to minimize the connections needed to input audio from Internet sources.

• Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding

  Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding

  The AVR 265 delivers high-resolution audio that matches the digital video standard in Blu-ray Disc formats. This audio/video receiver unlocks the full potential of your Blu-ray Disc recordings with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ decoding. Also, the AVR 265 includes Dolby Pro Logic® IIz, which adds front height channels to 3D playback for a deeper surround sound.

• Powerful, 95-watt, seven-channel amplifier

  Powerful, 95-watt, seven-channel amplifier

  With its high-current capability (HCC) and an ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier, the seven-channel AVR 265 is designed to deliver dynamic playback on par with traditional movie theatre sound systems. If you use only five channels instead of seven, you can assign the two remaining amplifier channels to another zone in the house.

• Dolby volume control

  Dolby volume control

  Dolby Volume technology helps secure a consistent volume level for all your entertainment, even if you switch back and forth among sources. You need to set the AVR 265 receiver only once to eliminate unpredictable volume differences across all of your content.

• Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing

  Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing

  The AVR 265’s Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing drastically improves image quality by reducing video artefacts in analogy signals. You’ll see few lines and a smooth picture.

• Multizone functionality

  Multizone functionality

  The AVR 265’s multiroom audio functionality saves you money by extending your favourite music from your main listening room to a second room where you might otherwise have to install additional, expensive components.

• Logic 7 processing

  Logic 7 processing

  The AVR 265’s Logic 7 sound processing transforms your media through our proprietary algorithms. Whether you’re listening to HDMI, analogue, component or S-Video sources, Logic 7 technology ensures a superior listening experience.

• iPod/iPhone connectivity via The Bridge IIIP

  iPod/iPhone connectivity via The Bridge IIIP

  Thanks to the AVR 265 and the Harman Kardon The Bridge IIIP docking station (sold separately), you can hear digital tracks from your mobile Apple device with unparalleled clarity. Simply connect The Bridge IIIP to the AVR and your iPod or iPhone, and navigate through music and video libraries with the receiver’s high-definition graphical user interface (GUI) system.

• Graphical user interface (GUI) with screen-saver function

  Graphical user interface (GUI) with screen-saver function

  The AVR 265 features a highly intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) system. By offering high-definition on-screen menus for all setup functions, the GUI helps make system setup simple and stress-free.

• Upgradable firmware via USB port

  Upgradable firmware via USB port

  Keep your AVR 265 up to date by upgrading it through its USB port. Upgrading will simplify and improve the receiver’s operation and ensure that it lives up to its potential. And upgrading is a perfect way to protect your investment.

• EzSet/EQ calibration

  EzSet/EQ calibration

  The AVR 265’s EzSet/EQ™ calibration ensures the best possible audio performance from your speakers by measuring frequency-response peaks and valleys. In a few simple steps, the EzSet/EQ system automatically tailors playback to whatever room it’s in.

• Detachable IEC power cord

  Detachable IEC power cord

  To simplify installation, your AVR 265 offers an IEC power cord. The detachable cord lets you create the best possible speaker configuration for your system within your living room or home theatre, making setup simple and stress-free.

• Headphone jack with HARMAN surround mode

  Headphone jack with HARMAN surround mode

  For a personal, intimate listening experience, the AVR 265’s headphone jack and HARMAN headphone surround mode help to create a realistic, 7.1-channel surround-sound experience in a single set of stereo headphones. You’ll benefit from one-on-one listening without sacrificing a single note of audio integrity.

• Ultrawide, highly accurate frequency response

  Ultrawide, highly accurate frequency response

  The Escape 3’s speakers can reproduce any sound from 25Hz (nearly the lowest tone that humans can hear) to 40kHz (well above the highest audible tone). And they do it accurately, without changing your music’s audio mix, voice timbre or sound design.

• Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguides

  Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguides

  High-frequency and ultrahigh-frequency sounds are directional – they don’t spread out very widely, and they reach only a narrow range of the people in any room. But the proprietary Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguides in the ES10, ES25C and ES80 speakers widen the sounds’ range to fill the entire room. You’ll get ideally balanced music, crisp dialogue and smooth audio distribution throughout the listening space. As a result, every seat is the best seat in your home theatre.

• Proprietary PolyPlas woofers

  Proprietary PolyPlas woofers

  Our proprietary PolyPlas material gives great bass response to the Escape 3’s midrange and low-frequency speaker drivers. The speakers use this stiff, lightweight polymer-cellulose fibre coating to add rigidity and damping for clear reproduction.

• Tuned ports

  Tuned ports

  The ES Series speakers have tuned ports, which extend the speakers’ low-frequency response and increase the overall efficiency of their bass drivers. These ports allow the speakers to play loud and long without eating up an enormous amount of energy – and they reduce distortion as well.

• Titanium-laminate dome tweeters

  Titanium-laminate dome tweeters

  Titanium is light but strong – an ideal material for high-frequency speakers. The ES10, ES25C and ES80 speakers’ extremely thin but rigid titanium-laminate domes deliver accurate, undistorted high-frequency response, even when the volume is way up. The result is full, clear, tight reproduction of high frequencies.

• Ultrahigh-frequency tweeters

  Ultrahigh-frequency tweeters

  The ultrahigh-frequency tweeters in the ES10, ES25C and ES80 speakers have a frequency response up to 40kHz, far above the high edge of human hearing. These speakers can reproduce high-definition audio with amazing accuracy.

• Video shielding

  Video shielding

  The magnets in many speakers can interfere with video reception, but not the magnets in the ES10, ES25C and ES80. We’ve magnetically shielded them to prevent interference. You get not only a clear TV picture but also installation flexibility, since you can place the speakers as close to your screen as you want.

• Convenient, wireless subwoofer

  Convenient, wireless subwoofer

  The Escape 3’s ES250PW powered subwoofer is wireless and can receive signals from the AVR 265 at a distance of up to 75 feet (23 metres). Since you won’t need to snake a cable from receiver to subwoofer, you’ll have a more attractive listening space and greater flexibility in choosing where to put the subwoofer.
