Harman-Kardon Comprehensive Guide to Harman Kardon AVR 247 and The Bridge Setup
Page 27

Remember to connect the output jacks on your recorder to the Tape or digital audio input jacks on the AVR, and the input jacks on your recorder to the Tape or digital audio output jacks on the AVR.

No video connections are needed.

TheBridgeTM

With Harman Kardon’s optional The Bridge, you can enjoy audio, video or still images stored on your iPod (not included), use your AVR 247 remote control to operate the iPod, and even charge the iPod while it’s docked in The Bridge.

Simply plug the proprietary cable from The Bridge into the special

The Bridge/DMP connector on the rear of the AVR 247. See Figure 29. Refer to the owner’s manual for The Bridge to select the appropriate insert to match your iPod.

Step Five – Connect the Video Display

INSTALLATION

If your television does not have HDMI or DVI video inputs, you will need to make a video connection for each type of video used for your sources.

First, determine what types of video your display is capable of handling. Remember that component video is preferred, followed by S-video and then composite video. Ideally, this guided you in selecting the video connections for your sources.

Next, note which types of video connections you used for your source devices. Make sure you didn’t use a better type of video connection for a source than your video display can handle. If so, disconnect the source and use a video connection that’s compatible with your display.

If you used component video for any sources, connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs on the receiver to one set of component video inputs on your display. See Figure 31. The AVR 247 is able to transcode composite and S-video sources to component video. If your video display has component video inputs, then you only need to connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs and you may proceed to Step Six.

Figure 31 – Component Video Monitor Outputs

Only video connections should be made between the receiver and your video display (TV), unless your TV is the source for your television programming (see Video 3 Source on page 24).

If you used an HDMI video connection for any of your sources, then connect the HDMI Output on the AVR to an HDMI input on your video display. See Figure 30. Consult the owner’s guide for your television to learn the proper procedure for disabling or muting the audio. Unless you have a non-HDMI source device that outputs 1080i or higher video via an analog component video connection (see note below), no other video connections are required, thanks to the AVR 247’s ability to transcode most analog video signals to HDMI, and you may proceed to Step Six.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 247 cannot convert 1080i or 1080p analog video signals to the HDMI format and outputs 1080i signals, as is, to the Component Video Outputs. This affects users of Microsoft Xbox 360 systems and some older set-top boxes.

If your digital cable television set-top box outputs 1080i or higher video via component video outputs and is not equipped with an HDMI output, contact your cable operator for a replacement.

For Xbox 360 and satellite television customers, connect the AVR’s Component Video Monitor Outputs to the TV, or change the settings on your source device to ensure that it outputs only 720p video through its component video outputs, which the AVR can convert to the HDMI format. Although you could connect the source device’s component video outputs directly to your video display, you would then have to select the correct video input on the display, depending on which source input on the AVR was in use.

Figure 30 – HDMI Output

If you used S-video for any sources, connect the S-video Monitor Output on the receiver to an S-video input on your display. See Figure 32. The AVR 247 converts composite video sources to S-video. If your video display has S-video inputs, then you only need to connect the S-Video Monitor Output and you may proceed to Step Six.

If you used composite video for any sources, but not component video or S-video, connect the Composite Video Monitor output on the receiver to a composite video input on the display. See Figure 32.

Consult the manual for your TV to make sure you understand how to select each video input.

Step Six – Plug in AC Power

Having made all of your wiring connections, it is now time to plug each component’s AC power cord into a working outlet.

You may plug one device into the AC Switched Accessory Outlet on the rear of the AVR 247. See Figure 33. Make sure this device draws no more than 50 watts. The device should have its mechanical or master power switch turned on, and it will power on any time the AVR 247 is turned on.

Figure 33 – Switched AC Accessory Outlet

Before plugging the AVR 247’s AC Power Cord into an electrical outlet, make sure that the Master Power Switch on the front panel is popped
