HDMI 2 Source

INSTALLATION

The AVR 147 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility via the HDMI connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.

If your source or video display is equipped with a DVI (Digital Video Interface) input, you may use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (not included).

Remember to connect the output jacks on your recorder to the Tape or digital audio input jacks on the AVR, and the input jacks on your recorder to the Tape or digital audio output jacks on the AVR.

No video connections are needed.

HDMI 2 Source

The HDMI 2 source is used with a second device that is capable of outputting digital video through an HDMI connection, such as a DVD, HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc player. The HDMI 2 source is not used with any of the 2-channel analog audio or video inputs on the AVR 147.

Since the AVR 147 is not capable of processing either the audio or video signal transmitted via the HDMI connection, you will need to connect the source’s optical digital audio output to the Optical 2 digital audio input on the AVR 147, or use the 6-/8-channel inputs. See Figure 25. You will also need to make sure your video display is HDMI-capable, and for many source devices, the display must be HDCP-compliant (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) in order to display copy-protected materials.

If your source or video display is equipped with a DVI (Digital Video Interface) input, you may use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (not included).

CD

The CD source is used for a strictly audio device, such as a CD player.

Referring to Table 2, connect your CD player to the CD Analog Audio inputs and to any available digital audio input. See Figure 26.

No video connections are needed.

Tape

The Tape source is used for audio-only recorders, such as a CDR, MiniDisc or cassette deck.

Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Tape Analog Audio inputs and outputs, and to any available digital audio input (and corresponding digital audio output). See Figure 27.

TheBridgeTM

With Harman Kardon’s optional The Bridge, you can enjoy audio, video or still images stored on your iPod (not included), use your AVR 147 remote control to operate the iPod, and even charge the iPod while it’s docked in The Bridge.

Simply plug the proprietary cable from The Bridge into the special

The Bridge/DMP connector on the rear of the AVR 147. See Figure 28. Refer to the owner’s manual for The Bridge to select the appropriate insert to match your iPod.

Step Five – Connect the Video Display

Only video connections should be made between the receiver and your video display (TV), unless your TV is the source for your television programming (see Video 3 Source above).

You will need to make a video connection for each type of video used for your sources. In addition, even if you didn’t use S-video or composite video for any of your sources, one of these video monitor connections is required to view the AVR 147’s on-screen menus and displays.

First, determine what types of video your display is capable of handling. Remember that HDMI is preferred, followed by component video, S-video and then composite video. Ideally, this guided you in selecting the video connections for your sources.

Next, note which types of video connections you used for your source devices. Make sure you didn’t use a better type of video connection for a source than your video display can handle. If so, you will need to disconnect the source and use a video connection that’s compatible with your display.

If you used an HDMI video connection for any of your sources, then connect the HDMI Output on the AVR to an HDMI input on your video display. See Figure 29. As mentioned previously, you will need to make a separate digital audio connection from each source device to the AVR 147, and you will also need to consult the owner’s guide for your television to learn the proper procedure for disabling or muting the audio.

Figure 29 – HDMI Output

If you used component video for any sources, connect the Component Video Monitor outputs on the receiver to one set of component video inputs on your display. See Figure 30. Make a note of how these inputs are labeled on the display.
