Video Adjustments
The AVR 347 includes sophisticated DCDi by Faroudja video processing that delivers enhanced video quality, even for older analog video source components, as well as upgraded
The video processor is set at the factory to automatically provide the best picture as it detects the capabilities of your video display and the incoming source video signals. However, you may experiment with the Video Setup menu adjustments to try to improve the picture further. The Video Setup menu includes a reset feature in the event you wish to return to the factory defaults and try again.
To access the Video Setup menu, press the OSD Button L to display the menu system, and navigate to the Video tab. Press the Set Button

Output Format: This setting is used to specify the resolution of the AVR’s video output as 576i, 576p or 720p.
When the HDMI Output is active, 576i output is not available. If you select the 576i setting and the video display is capable of 720p resolution, the AVR will automatically select the higher resolution. If the display is not capable of 720p resolution, the AVR will select the 576p setting.
If your source signal is 1080i or 1080p, it will be passed through to the HDMI Output as is, but you may not select that output format on this line, as upscaling to these resolutions is not supported. If you are using the Component Video Monitor Outputs, you will not be able to view 1080p materials, but 1080i sources will be passed through. In any event, when the source signal is 1080i or 1080p, the

Once this time is set and the unit returned to normal operation, the displays will remain on for the time period selected whenever a button is pressed on the front panel or remote. After that time they will gradually fade out, with the exception of the lighting surrounding the Standby/On Switch 3, which remains on to remind you that the AVR is turned on. Note that if the displays have been turned completely off using the Dim Button, as shown on page 46, the Fade function will not operate.
