Harman Kardon AVR 220 5.1 Channels Receiver Logo
Anonymous Posted on Apr 05, 2010

My Harman Kardon AVR 220 reciever's front-right channel isn't working. I have switched the two front speakers and the right speaker works on the left channel so it is not a problem with the speakers or wires. When I turn the volume up loud enough, (-10dB or more) the speaker emits a crackling sound (not a constant crackling, more like a distorted (very distorted) version of what it should be playing.) I have done a microprocessor reset and the problem still persists. I have taken the cover off and nothing looks burned/disconnected, etc. but I'm not sure what to look for. Any suggestions? Thanks!

If front left is working it is possible u have a dry solder on ur right channel line. try resoldering or if u want to know exactly where dry solder is, shake gently every right channel components and connections. if resoldering does not work it is possible u have a faulty ouput amp for ur right channel. if ur not sure about this i suggest u get it checked by a qualified tech.

anything that works well is always worth investigating for a repair
it could be a simple fuse for that side amplifier, loose , broken speaker wire
have it checked out and then decide if it is worth repairing

I have a active sub woofer (akari bazooka) but the only connections available are the speaker connections. The front of the sub woofer has volume adjustment. How can I connect this sub woofer to my Harman...

hi,
You can't connect the pre out of your AVR to this sub woofer. Do one thing connect the frond left/ right channel speaker "B" out of harman kardon to the sub woofers left right speaker in put. you can connect the speaker out "A" to your normal left right speakers. Remember to switch Speaker "A" and "B" in ON position in your AVR. Also do one thing go to the speaker setup of AVR and switch OFF (slelect NONE) the sub woofer.This will disconnect the sub woofer pre our and the sub frequency will mix with frond left right channels.
ok

I have a Harman/Kardon AVR 325. Left speaker not working with TV

How is TV audio (from the cable box) getting into the Receiver? If digitally, you wouldn't be missing any one channel on a connection malfunction, you'd lose them all. If analog, swap the channels around to isolate the problem (and reconsider using digital).

Harman Kardon AVR 40 no sound

Check the fuses - there may be one inside the box as well. May also be a bad transformer. You can get a multi-meter at Home Depot and lookup how to check the power at the transformer.
