Harman-Kardon AVR 247 Recommended Source Component Connections, Video Video 2 Analog Inputs

INSTALLATION

For each video source, select one type of video connection. HDMI video is preferred, but both your source device and your video display must have this type of video capability. If either device does not, then use component video, S-video or composite video.

Referring to Table 2, we recommend that you connect the DVD source to the Component Video 1 inputs, the Video 1 source to the Component Video 2 inputs, and the Video 2 source to the Component Video 3 inputs. Any HDMI-capable source devices should be connected to one of the two HDMI inputs. All other source devices should be connected to either the component, S- or composite video input for that source. However, you may make whatever video connections are best for your system.

NOTE: It’s possible for a source to use none of the connections named for that source. For example, you might connect your DVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1 digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as “DVD,” and in the Initial Setup section you will program the receiver so that these connections are assigned to the DVD source. When you select “DVD” as your source using the front panel or the remote, the correct connections for your DVD player will be used.
