Rear Panel Connections

Remote IR Output: This connection per- mits the IR sensor in the receiver to serve other remote controlled devices. Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.

!Remote IR Input: If the AVR’s front-panel IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet doors or other obstructions, an external IR sensor may be used. Connect the output of the sensor to this jack.

"Preamp Outputs: Connect these jacks to an optional, external power amplifier for appli- cations where higher power is desired.

#HDMI Output: Connect this jack to the HDMI input on a compatible HDMI-equipped video display.

$Video 3 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on any video source.

%Video 3 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on any audio or video source.

&HDMI Inputs: Connect the HDMI output of video sources such as a DVD player, set-top box or HDTV tuner to either of these jacks.

'Multiroom Outputs: Connect these jacks to an optional audio power amplifier to listen to the source selected by the multiroom system in a remote room.

(A-BUS Connector: Connect this jack to an optional A-BUS-certified remote room keypad or amplifier to extend the multiroom capabilities of your AVR. See page 21 for more information on A-BUS.

)Multiroom IR Input: Connect the output of an IR sensor in a remote room to this jack to operate the AVR’s multiroom control system.

*Video 3 Component Video Inputs: These inputs may be used with any source device equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB compo- nent video outputs. The factory default is for these jacks to be a linked to the Video 2 input, but you may change the setting at any time through the INPUT SETUP menu. See page 24 for more information on configuring the component video inputs.

+Remote IR Carrier Output: The output of this jack is the full signal received at the Remote Sensor Window Ú or input through the Remote IR Input ! including the carrier frequency that is removed from signals at the

Remote IR Output . Use this output to extend IR remote signals to the input of compatible products by direct connection or through the use of optional, external IR “blasters”. If you are in doubt as to which of the two IR Output jacks to use, we recommend that you consult with your dealer or installer, or check with the manufacturer of the external equipment you wish to control.

With the AVR’s powerful processor, you may con- nect up to two HDMI-equipped source devices to the HDMI inputs using a single-cable connec- tion, while benefiting from superior digital audio and video performance. However, if your video display is not HDMI-compatible, you will need to connect the source device to one of the other source inputs, selecting a coaxial or optical digi- tal audio input and analog video input. See the Connections and Installation sections for more information.

If your video display has an HDMI input, but some of your sources have only analog video outputs, you may still rely on just the HDMI video connection to your display; the AVR will automatically transcode analog video signals to the HDMI format.

NOTE ON VIDEO CONNECTIONS: When con- necting a video source product such as a VCR, DVD player, satellite receiver, cable set-top box, personal video recorder or video game to the AVR 347, you may use either a composite or S-video connection, but not both.
