Harman-Kardon 347 owner manual Digital Audio Outputs Connect these

Rear Panel Connections

￿8-Channel Direct Inputs: These jacks are used for connection to source devices such as DVD-Audio,Blu-ray,HD-DVD or SACD players with discrete analog outputs. Depending on the source device in use, all eight jacks may be used, though in many cases only connections to the front left/right, center, surround left/right and LFE (subwoofer input) jacks will be used for standard 5.1 audio signals.

￿Digital Audio Outputs: Connect these

jacks to the matching digital input connector on a digital recorder such as a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.

￿Video Monitor Outputs: Connect this jack to the composite and/or S-Video input of a TV monitor or video projector to view the on-screen menus and the output of any standard Video or S-Video source selected by the receiver’s video switcher.

￿DVD Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the composite or S-Video output jacks on a DVD player or other video source.

￿Front Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + or – terminals on your left and right speakers. In conformance with the new CEA color code specification, the White terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on Front Left speaker with the older color coding, while the Red terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on Front Right speaker. Connect the black (–) terminals on the AVR to the black (–) terminals on the speakers. See page 17 for more information on speaker polarity.

￿Center Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and – terminals on your center channel speaker. In conformance with the new CEA color code specification, the Green Terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on speakers with the older color coding. Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the black negative (–) terminal on your speaker. (See page 17 for more information on speaker polarity.)

￿Surround Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and – terminals on your surround channel speakers. In confor- mance with the new CEA color code specifica- tion, the Blue terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Left speaker with older color coding, while the Gray terminal should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Right speaker with the older color coding. Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the matching black negative (–) terminals for each surround speaker. (See page 17 for more information on speaker polarity.)

￿Switched AC Accessory Outlet: This outlet may be used to power any device that you wish to have turn on when the AVR is turned on with the System Power Control switch 2.

￿RS-232 Serial Port: This specialized connector may be used with your personal computer in case Harman Kardon offers a soft- ware upgrade for the receiver at some time in the future. Leave the Mode switch popped out in the Operate position, unless the AVR 347 is being upgraded. The Reset switch is used only during the upgrade process.

￿AC Power Cord: Connect the AC plug to an unswitched AC wall output.

￿Video 2 Component Video Inputs: Connect the Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of an HDTV Set-top convertor, satellite receiver, or other video source device with component video outputs to these jacks. The factory default is for these jacks to be a linked to the Video 1 input, but you may change the setting at any time through the INPUT SETUP menu. See page 24 for more information on configuring the com- ponent video inputs.

￿Monitor Component Video Outputs: Connect these outputs to the component video inputs of a video projector or monitor. When a source connected to one of the three Component Video Inputs ￿￿* is selected the signal will be sent to these jacks.

￿Video 1 Component Video Inputs: Connect the Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of a DVD player to these jacks. The factory default is for these jacks to be a linked to the DVD 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.

Note: 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.

RGB connection is not possible if the source out- puts a separate sync signal (see page 18).

￿Video 2 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a second VCR or other audio or video source.

￿Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect the coax digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the output of a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player, MD player or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS signal, a 2 channel MPEG 1 signal, or a standard PCM digital source. Do not connect the RF digital out- put of an LD player to these jacks.

￿Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs: These speaker terminals are normally used to power the surround back left/surround back right speakers in a 7.1 channel system. However, they may also be used to power the speakers in a second zone, which will receive the output selected for a multiroom system.

To change the output fed to these terminals from the default of the Surround Back speakers to the Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the MULTIROOMMENU of the OSD system. See page 47 for more information on configuring this speaker output. In normal surround system use, the brown and black termi- nals are the surround back left channel positive

(+) and negative (–) connections and the tan and black terminals are the surround back right positive (+) and negative (–) terminals.

For multiroom use, connect the brown and black SBL terminals to the red and black connections on the left remote zone speaker and connect the tan and black SBR terminals to the red and black terminals on the right remote zone speaker.

￿Video 1 Video Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT composite or S-Video jack on a VCR.

￿Video 1 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on a TV or other video source.

￿Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the optical digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the output of a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player, MD player or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a DTS signal, a 2 channel MPEG 1 signal, or a standard PCM digital source.

￿Video 1 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a TV or other audio or video source.

￿Video 2 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on a second VCR or other video source.
