  HARMAN Logic 7 technology transforms a stereo input into full 5.1-channel surround sound, courtesy of proprietary algorithms that make any audio source – HDMI, analog, component, composite or computer-based audio from a USB connection – truly spectacular. The result is optimal quality and a superior, enveloping experience that engulfs you in a 360-degree soundscape.

• Three HDMI inputs

  Three HDMI inputs

  Three HDMI input ports let you digitally interconnect your entire system for maximum audio/video performance. HDMI-format ports dramatically reduce connection confusion while ensuring the greatest chance for compatibility with whatever audio/video equipment you are planning to connect.

• Extensive audio/video connectivity

  Extensive audio/video connectivity

  In addition to three HDMI digital ports, the AVR 1565 features one component and three composite video inputs that connect directly to legacy video sources. The receiver even transcodes component video to the HDMI interface with a single connection to your TV. In this way, it is easier than ever before to receive a high-definition signal from whatever video sources you select, including Blu-ray Disc, DVD and portable-music players.

• FM/AM tuner

  FM/AM tuner

  The AVR 1565’s FM section features an 87.5MHz – 108.0MHz frequency range, while the AM section handles frequencies from 520kHz to 1720kHz. Thirty station presets let you return to your favorite stations with a simple press of a button.

• Color-coded binding-post speaker connectors

  Color-coded binding-post speaker connectors

  By accepting banana plugs, spade connectors, pin connectors or bare wire, the AVR 1565’s binding-post connectors provide secure links for your speaker cables. Color-coding of these connectors reduces errors while you’re hooking up your speakers to the appropriate channel amplifiers.

• On-screen display (OSD)

  On-screen display (OSD)

  While its cutting-edge features are impressively advanced and sophisticated, the AVR 1565’s easy-to-navigate on-screen menus make the receiver simple to set up and use – even for novices. And during day-to-day use, the receiver’s built-in dot-matrix display confirms your current selection choice and other functions.

• Multidevice, programmable/learning remote control
