26INSTALLATIONFigure 23 – Video 4 A/V and Digital Audio InputsNOTE: The Video 4 Input Selector on the remote may only beprogrammed to operate a television or video display.IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MICROSOFT® XBOX® 360 USERS:The Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming system is capable of outputtinghigh-definition 1080i and 1080p video signals using the analogcomponent video outputs. Since the AVR 247 is not capable ofconverting these analog component video signals to the HDMIformat, although 1080i signals are passed through, as is, to theComponent Video Outputs, to view your Xbox 360’s video output,connect the AVR’s or Xbox’s component video outputs to your videodisplay, or change your Xbox 360’s settings so that it outputs 720pvideo, which the AVR 247 can then convert to the HDMI format.DVDThe DVD source is used for a DVD player. If you have a high-resolutionmultichannel device, such as a Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD player, you mayconnect it to the DVD source.Referring to Table 2, connect your DVD player to the DVD AnalogAudio inputs and to the Coaxial 1 Digital Audio input. If possible, usethe Component Video 1 inputs. Otherwise, connect the DVD player’sS-video or composite video output to the matching DVD video input.See Figure 24.Figure 24 – DVD A/V, Digital Audio and Component Video InputsIf your DVD player plays high-resolution audio discs, such as SACDor DVD-Audio, or when an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray Disc player is used,connect the 6- or 8-channel analog audio outputs on the player to the6-/8-channel analog audio inputs on the receiver, in order to enjoythese discs to their fullest. See Figure 25.Figure 25 – 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio InputsNOTE: The multichannel analog audio connection is notrequired for DVD-Audio players compliant with HDMI version1.1 or better, or HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc players that decodethe digital audio internally and output linear PCM signals indigital format. Consult the owner’s guide for your disc playerfor more information.HDMI 1 and 2The HDMI sources are used with devices that are capable of outputtingdigital audio and video through an HDMI connection, such as an HD-DVDor Blu-ray Disc player or HDTV tuner. The HDMI sources are not usedwith any of the 2-channel analog audio or video inputs on the AVR 247.Make sure your video display is HDMI-capable, and for many sourcedevices, the display must be HDCP-compliant (High-Bandwidth DigitalContent Protection) in order to display copy-protected materials. If thesource device is not capable of outputting digital audio via its HDMIoutput, connect its coaxial or optical digital audio output to an availableinput on the AVR. If the source device plays multichannel discs (e.g.,DVD-Audio, SACD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray Disc), connect its multichannelanalog audio outputs to the AVR 247’s 6-/8-Channel Inputs (but seethe note that follows Figure 25). Connect one of the source’s analogvideo outputs to a source input on the AVR (e.g., Component Video 3or Video 3) and select that source input, then select the 6-/8-ChannelInputs for audio; the AVR 247 will retain the last video selection otherthan HDMI. See Figure 26.The AVR 247 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility via the HDMIconnection to other Simplay HD-verified products.If your video display is equipped with a DVI (Digital Video Interface)input, you may use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (not included).Figure 26 – HDMI and Digital Audio InputsCDThe 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 Audioinputs and to any available digital audio input. See Figure 27.Figure 27 – CD Audio Inputs and Digital Audio InputsNo video connections are needed.TapeThe 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 Audioinputs and outputs, and to any available digital audio input (and corre-sponding digital audio output). See Figure 28.Figure 28 – Tape Audio Inputs and Outputs, and Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs
