I feel your pain, Burt. I'm having quite an epic adventure with my H/K AVR-125 as well, which, though a refurb, was bought online from PCMall, an authorized H/K dealer. The fact that I did buy it from an authorized H/K dealer doesn't seem to make much difference; the unit still sucks. It's...

Please Help! The saga continues with my AVR-125. I think I've had it and I am thinking of requesting a full refund (is that even remotely likely?). Here's my letter to H/K customer service. If anyone has any suggestions, please, I would love to hear from you and it would be greatly...

Thanks for all the info. As far as FedEx vs. other shipping options, unless I want to pay for my own shipping, I think I'm stuck with UPS, since the rep stated that he would be sending me a UPS shipping label. I'm assuming that this label means the shipping costs are pre-paid. When I'm...

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I thought I'd give an update as well as ask for some advice. The repair center that originally did the repairs is no longer in business. The next closest repair center is an hour away. Despite this, I took the time off from work to see about dropping off...

Unfortunately, it is necessary to update my situation once again. After about a month and a half of trouble free operation, the AVR-125 receiver is starting to crap out again. The receiver shuts off randomly, but this time the power indicator LED does not flicker from green to orange...

I checked my AVR125 and it has a date label on the back that says June 2002.

Mine was also a refurb. How do you determine the manufacture date? Can it be determined from the serial number?

Final update (hopefully): Got the receiver back last week, hooked it up, works fine. Word of advice: If you ever take your receiver to a repair shop, it will save you a lot of trouble if the technician that is actually doing the repair is clear on exactly what problems you are having with...

Here is an update to my situation. I took the receiver to the repair shop 2 weeks ago today (Monday). At the time they told me the estimated time to repair would be 5-7 days, but as of earlier today (2 weeks) I still had not heard from them. So today I called them to find out the status of...

Please bear with me as I backtrack for a minute. Before I had the shutoff/blinking power ring problems, I first had a related problem, at least I think it's related. I'm still waiting for my 12 awg speaker wire to arrive from parts express, so in the meantime, I decided to test out the...

Thanks guys. I also threw away the original packaging for the receiver, so it looks like I will have to make a similar arrangement with HK if I get a replacement unit. But before I go down that path, does anyone have anything to add (good or bad) about the other option of taking the...

Josh, Any word on the outcome? I just bought an AVR-125 for Christmas, have just now set it up, and I think I am having the same EXACT problem, except I don't have to change the input source for it to happen. I have an optical out on my computer connected to the #1 optical input on the...

Got it, thanks! Happy New Year! RP

I have never used nor seen an optical audio connection before, so please bear with me. Laugh if you must. I have a Panasonic DVD-CP72 and I'm trying to connect it to my brand new Harman Kardon AVR125 using a Toslink-to-Toslink optical cable. Connecting to the DVD-CP72 optical jack is no...

Hello all, HT n00b here. After scouring HTF to find the best entry-level bang-for-the-buck HT system, I decided on and ordered, among other things, the SX-HTB speaker set from Fluance, and it should be coming in early next week. Needless to say, reading through this thread has me a little bit...

Chris V, I'm also looking to get a CD Recorder to record music. My current system is set up as follows: DVD player feeds into a Karaoke mixer, which feeds into a receiver, which powers the speakers. The mixer has microphone inputs. (DVD player-->Karaoke mixer w/mic...
