Harman-Kardon AVR 154 owner manual Installation, Video Connections, Hdmi

Video Connections:

(choose only one, and make sure that type is available on your TV)

• HDMI	• S-video
• Component video	• Composite video

NOTES:

•Digital audio, HDMI and component video connections are not dedicated to any source input. When any of these physical connections are used, they must be assigned to the desired source input as described in the Initial Setup section. It’s possible for a source input to use none of the connectors named for it; e.g., the DVD source may use the Component Video 1 inputs for video and the Coaxial Digital Audio Input 1 for audio, both of which require assignment.

•If the video display is equipped with an HDMI or DVI digital video input, make sure it is also HDCP-compliant (High- Bandwith Digital Content Protection) to display copy-protected materials.

•If the source or video display has a DVI input, use an HDMI- to-DVI adapter (not included), and make separate audio connections.

•Although the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs are designated as a separate source input, the 6CH button on the remote may not be programmed to operate a source device. The

6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs are used with an analog video input (component video, S-video or composite video, but not HDMI) that may also be assigned to another source input, such as DVD. Program the corresponding Input Selector on the remote, e.g., DVD, with the device’s product code. To enjoy audio from the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs, first select the source for the video input (DVD, in this example), and then switch the source to the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs. The AVR 154 will use the last-selected analog video input while obtaining audio from the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs.

Connect a DVD, SACD, HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc Player

HDMI Video: If the DVD player and the TV both have an HDMI connector, connect the player as follows (see Figure 19):

•Connect the DVD player’s HDMI output to the HDMI 1 Input on the AVR.

•Connect the DVD player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 2 input on the AVR.

INSTALLATION

Figure 19 – Connecting an HDMI-Equipped Disc Player

If the player is capable of playing multichannel discs, including DVD- Audio, SACD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc, make the following additional connections (see Figure 20):

•Connect the DVD player’s component video output to the Component Video 1 Input on the AVR.

•Connect the DVD player’s 6-channel analog audio outputs to the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs on the AVR.

Component Video: If the DVD player or the TV does not have an HDMI connector, but they both have component video connectors, connect the player as follows (see Figure 21):

•Connect the DVD player’s component video output to the Component Video 1 Input on the AVR.

•Connect the DVD player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 1 input on the AVR.
