Harman-Kardon 347 owner manual Scart A/V Connections, Video Connection Notes

Installation and Connections

1.Connect a VCR’s audio and video Play/Out jacks to the Video 2 In jacks ￿￿on the rear panel. The Audio and Video Record/In jacks on the VCR should be connected to the Video 1 Out jacks ￿￿ on the AVR.

2.Although any video device may be connected to these jacks, we recommend connecting your TV to the Audio 1 Audio/Video Input Jacks

￿￿ so that you may take advantage of the fact that the remote control is preprogrammed with TV product codes for the Video 1 device. For the same reason, we recommend connecting your video recorder, cable TV converter or satellite receiver to the Video 2 Audio/Video Input Jacks ￿￿.

3.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a DVD or laser disc player to the DVD jacks

￿￿.

4.Connect the digital audio outputs of a CD, MD or DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to the appropriate Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs ￿￿*Ó. Remember that the DVD source defaults to the Coaxial 1 Digital Input ￿. All other sources default to their analog inputs, although any source may be assigned to any digital audio input on the receiver.

NOTE: When connecting a device such as a digi- tal cable box or other set-top tuner product with a digital audio output, we recommend that you connect both the digital and analog outputs of the product to your AVR. The audio input polling feature of the AVR will then be able to make cer- tain that you have a constant audio feed, since it will automatically switch the audio input to the analog jacks if the digital feed is interrupted or not available for a particular channel.

5.Connect the Composite and S-Video (if S-Video device is in use) Monitor Output ￿ jacks on the receiver to the composite and S-Video input of your television monitor or video projector.

6.If your DVD player and monitor both have component video connections, connect the com- ponent outputs of the DVD player to the Video

1Component Video Inputs ￿. Note that even when component video connections are used the audio connections must still be made to either the analog DVD Audio Inputs ￿ or any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Input jacks ￿￿.

7.If another component video device is avail- able, connect it to the Video 2 or Video 3 Component Video Input jacks ￿*. The audio connections for this device should be made to either the Video 2 Input jacks # or any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Input jacks ￿￿.

8.If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Output ￿ to the component video inputs of your TV, projector or display device.

9.If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the AVR on a temporary, rather than permanent basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio out- puts of that device to the Front Panel Inputs *ÓÔ. A device connected to the Video 4 jacks Ô is selected as the Video 4 input, and connected to the digital jacks *Ó it is selected as "Optical 3" or "Coaxial 3" input. (See page 24 for more information on input configuration.)

10.When connecting the AVR 347 to a stan- dard, analog video display that has standard composite and S-Video inputs only, component video inputs may not be used. In this case, con- nect the Video and S-Video Monitor Outputs

￿ to the matching composite and S-Video inputs on your video display, depending on which types of video are used by your source devices. If both types of video are used by differ- ent source devices, than both Video Monitor Outputs ￿ must be separately connected to your television.

Video Connection Notes:

•All component inputs/outputs can be used for RGB signals too, in the same way as described for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the jacks with the corresponding color.

But this is only correct as long as only the three RGB video signals are output by the video source, with a sync signal in the "G" signal only, without any sync signal output separately by the source.

SCART A/V Connections

For the connections described above your video device needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and S- Video connectors for all Audio and Video signals: Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 8) for only playback needs 3 RCA jacks, VCRs for record and playback even 6 RCA jacks. Any S-Video device (SVHS, High 8) needs 2 RCA (Audio) and 1 S-Video jack (Video), if it´s a play- back unit, or 4 RCA (Audio In/Out) and

2 S-Video (Video In/Out) jacks, if it´s a recording VCR.

Many european video devices are equipped with RCA (Cinch) or S-Video jacks only partially, not for all audio and video in/outputs needed as described above, but with a so called Scart or Euro-AV connector (almost rectangular jack with 21 pins, see drawings on next page).

In that case the following Scart to Cinch adapters or cables are needed:

•Units for playback, such as satellite receivers, camcorders, DVD or LD players, need an adapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig. 1 (normal video devices) or from Scart to 2 RCA+1 S-Video plugs, see fig. 4 (S-Video devices).

•HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6 RCA plugs, see fig. 2 (normal video), or from Scart to 4 Audio+2S-Video jacks, see fig. 5 (S-Video VCR). Read carefully the instruction attached to the adapter to find which of the six plugs is used for the record signal to the VCR (connect with the AVR´s Out jacks) and for the playback signal from the VCR (connect with the AVR´s In jacks). Do not misconnect Audio and Video signals. Don´t hesitate to con- sult your dealer, if you are uncertain.

•If you use only normal video devices the TV monitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs to Scart (fig. 3) only. If also S-Video devices are used an adapter from 2 RCA+1S-Video plugs to Scart is needed additionally (fig. 6), con- nected to the SCART input on your TV that is provided for S-Video.
