SERVICE CENTER Harman Kardon's first media server takes your discs and makes them better. Any CD you feed it will be ripped to the convenient 160-GB hard disk. Any DVD you feed it will be upconverted to 720p HD format through the HDMI output. But streaming is this box's main mission: four rooms, four streams - mix 'em however you want.

MEDIA ON THE MOVE You can free your music by copying it to flash-memory cards or USB thumb drives, and a free upgrade in 2007 will let you burn CDs, too. Your iPod's ticket to get in on all this action is HK's optional Bridge ($69). $2,999 harmankardon.com 516-496-3400
