Operation
connecting its analog audio outputs to the appropriate analog inputs (e.g. DVD) of the AVR. Additionally, the digital signals will be passed through to the Digital Audio Outputs .
Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the AVR is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be record- ed simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for Tape Outputs or Video 1 Outputs in the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to any of the Digital Audio Outputs , you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording system. Note that all digital signals will be passed through to both, coaxial and optical, digital outputs simultanously, no matter which kind of digital input was selected.
NOTES:
•The digital outputs are active only when a digi- tal signal is present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the for- mat of the digital signal (e.g. Dolby Digital to PCM or vice versa, but coaxial digital signals are converted to optical signals and vice versa). In additon, the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM dig- ital output from a CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS sig- nals may not.
•To make an analog recording from a digital source is possible, but only from a PCM source (not Dolby Digital or DTS) and correctly only with "Surround Off" mode (with any Surround mode only the L/R front signals will be fed to the record outputs).
Using 
When Harman Kardon’s 
(optional) is connected and a compatible Apple® iPod® is
docked in The Bridge, press the 
DMP Selector Button D to choose the iPod as the input source allowing playback of audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod through your high-quality audio/video system.
Pressing the 
DMP Selector Button
Dwill also activate the AVR remote’s con- trol codes for the iPod, and you may also use the front-panel controls to operate the iPod. You
may also select 
DMP as the source from the front panel by repeatedly pressing the Input Source Selector % until DMP appears in the Upper Display Line Ò, although no Input Indicator will light.
When The Bridge is properly connected and a compatible iPod is properly docked, the Upper Display Line Ò will read DMP/CON- NECTED. Once that message appears, use the remote or front-panel buttons to control the iPod. See the Function List Table on pages 58-59 for a listing of the remote control buttons that have been programmed to control the iPod.
Whether or not an iPod is docked in The Bridge, the screen shown in Figure 30 will appear on a video display connected to the AVR, but you will not be able to affect the screen without an iPod docked in The Bridge. Navigate The Bridge’s

screens by using the ‹/› Buttons E | to |
highlight a line and pressing the Set Button |
F to select the line. The › Button | scrolls |
down, and the ‹ Button E scrolls up. Press |
the Menu Button | to return to the previous |
level of The Bridge’s menu system. Remember to set the remote in The Bridge device mode by pressing the Tape/The Bridge button. If it lights in red, press it again quickly so that it lights in green, indicating it is in The Bridge mode.

MUSIC: This line allows you to navigate the audio materials stored on your iPod.
PHOTOS/VIDEOS: Selecting this item allows you to play still images or videos stored on the iPod. The screen shown in Figure 31 will appear, directing you to operate the iPod’s own controls directly to play images and videos. You may use the AVR 347 remote instead of the iPod’s con- trols to navigate it. Visual materials will be dis- played on a video display connected to the AVR.

SETTING: This line accesses the Settings menu, shown in Figure 32. The items in this menu enable you to use the Shuffle and Repeat func- tions on the iPod. You may also set the Resume function, which resumes play of a selection from the point at which it was stopped,
Figure 32
NOTE: iTunes allows you to set certain selec- tions to always or never remember playback position, or to be skipped in Shuffle mode. The AVR 347’s settings cannot override these iTunes settings.
In brief, the Reverse Search, Play and Forward Search Buttons P and the ⁄/¤/‹/› Buttons DE and Set
Button F may be used in a similar manner to the corresponding controls on the iPod. Complete details on operating an iPod using 
and an AVR remote are furnished
with 
.
The front-panel controls may be used to access a limited number of iPod functions. Press the RDS select button ^ to play or pause the current track. The Tuning Selector ) may be used to search reverse (left side of button) or forward (right side of button) through the tracks. Press the Tuner Band Selector ! to call up the iPod’s menu. Press the Preset Stations Selector # to scroll, and the Set Button @ to select.
While a selection is playing, the song title, artist and album name, if available on the iPod, will scroll across the upper line in the front panel Message Display Ò. The lower line will dis- play the elapsed time of the track on the left, the play mode icon, and the time remaining on the right.
In addition, if a video display is connected to the AVR, a screen will appear briefly to display information about the iPod’s status and the track. The top line will display the play mode icon, with the phrase “Now Playing” appearing to the right to remind you that you are viewing the status of the current track, as opposed to another menu screen. Below that the AVR dis- plays the total number of tracks in the current play list on the right (all materials on the iPod are considered one of the play lists) with the number of the current track on the left. The song title, artist and album are displayed. At the bot- tom of the screen is a graphic bar indicating the current play position within the track, with the elapsed and remaining times appearing below the bar.
