Harman-Kardon 347 Important Note for Adapter Cables, Important Notes for S-Video connections

Installation and Connections

Note that only the video plugs (the "yellow" cinch plug in fig. 3 and the S-Video plug in fig. 6) must be connected to the TV Monitor Output ￿, and the volume on the TV must be reduced to minimum.

Important Note for Adapter Cables:

If the cinch connectors of the adapter you’ll use are labeled, connect the Audio and Video ”In” plugs with the corresponding Audio and Video ”In” jacks on the AVR (and with a VCR connect the ”Out” plugs to the ”Out” jacks on the VCR). Note that with some adapter types it may be just turned around: If no signal is audible/ visible when the VCR is playing connect the “Out” plugs to the ”In” jacks on the AVR and turned

around. If the adapter plugs are not labeled in that way, pay attention to the signal flow directions as shown in the diagrams above and in the instruction attached to the adapter. If uncertain, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer.

Important Notes for S-Video connections:

1. Only the S-Video In/Out of S-Video devices

must be connected to the AVR, NOT both,

normal video and S-Video In/Outputs (except the

TV, see item below).

When both connections are made, only the

Important Note for the Use of

SCART-Cinch Adapters:

When video sources are connected to the TV directly with a SCART cable, specific control signals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed to the TV. These specific signals are: With all video sources, the signal for automatic input selection that switches the TV automatically to the appropriate input as soon as the video source is started. And with DVD players, the signals automatically turning the TV to 4:3/16:9 format (with 16:9 TVs or with 4:3 TVs with selectable 16:9 format) and turning the RGB video decoder of the TV on or off, depending on the DVD player´s setting. With any adapter cable, these control signals will be lost and the appropriate setting of the TV must be made manually.

Note for RGB signal with SCART:

If you use a unit providing RGB signals on a SCART output (as e.g. most DVD players do) and you want to use that RGB signal, this SCART output must be connected directly to your TV. Although the AVR can switch three-way video signals (like component signals Y/Pb/Pr), most TVs need separate sync signals for RGB (also with SCART) that cannot be switched and provided by the AVR.

RGB signals can be pathed through the AVR only when no separate sync signal is needed (see last ”Video Connection Note” on page 15).
