27INSTALLATIONRemember to connect theoutput jacks on your recorder to the Tapeor digital audioinput jacks on the AVR, and theinput jacks on yourrecorder to the Tape or digital audiooutput jacks on the AVR.No video connections are needed.With Harman Kardon’s optional The Bridge, you can enjoy audio, videoor still images stored on your iPod (not included), use your AVR 247remote control to operate the iPod, and even charge the iPod whileit’s docked in The Bridge.Simply plug the proprietary cable from The Bridge into the specialThe Bridge/DMP connector on the rear of the AVR 247. See Figure 29.Refer to the owner’s manual for The Bridge to select the appropriateinsert to match your iPod.Figure 29 – The Bridge/DMP ConnectorStep Five – Connect the Video DisplayOnly video connections should be made between the receiver andyour video display (TV), unless your TV is the source for your televisionprogramming (see Video 3 Source on page 24).If you used an HDMI video connection for any of your sources, thenconnect the HDMI Output on the AVR to an HDMI input on your videodisplay. See Figure 30. Consult the owner’s guide for your television tolearn the proper procedure for disabling or muting the audio. Unless youhave a non-HDMI source device that outputs 1080i or higher video viaan analog component video connection (see note below), no other videoconnections are required, thanks to the AVR 247’s ability to transcodemost analog video signals to HDMI, and you may proceed to Step Six.IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 247 cannot convert 1080i or1080p analog video signals to the HDMI format and outputs1080i signals, as is, to the Component Video Outputs. Thisaffects users of Microsoft Xbox 360 systems and some olderset-top boxes.If your digital cable television set-top box outputs 1080i or highervideo via component video outputs and is not equipped with anHDMI output, contact your cable operator for a replacement.For Xbox 360 and satellite television customers, connect theAVR’s Component Video Monitor Outputs to the TV, or changethe settings on your source device to ensure that it outputs only720p video through its component video outputs, which the AVRcan convert to the HDMI format. Although you could connectthe source device’s component video outputs directly to yourvideo display, you would then have to select the correct videoinput on the display, depending on which source input on theAVR was in use.Figure 30 – HDMI OutputIf your television does not have HDMI or DVI video inputs, you will needto make a video connection for each type of video used for your sources.First, determine what types of video your display is capable of handling.Remember that component video is preferred, followed by S-videoand then composite video. Ideally, this guided you in selecting the videoconnections for your sources.Next, note which types of video connections you used for your sourcedevices. Make sure you didn’t use a better type of video connectionfor a source than your video display can handle. If so, disconnect thesource and use a video connection that’s compatible with your display.If you used component video for any sources, connect the ComponentVideo Monitor Outputs on the receiver to one set of component videoinputs on your display. See Figure 31. The AVR 247 is able to transcodecomposite and S-video sources to component video. If your video displayhas component video inputs, then you only need to connect the ComponentVideo Monitor Outputs and you may proceed to Step Six.Figure 31 – Component Video Monitor OutputsIf you used S-video for any sources, connect the S-video Monitor Outputon the receiver to an S-video input on your display. See Figure 32. TheAVR 247 converts composite video sources to S-video. If your videodisplay has S-video inputs, then you only need to connect the S-VideoMonitor Output and you may proceed to Step Six.If you used composite video for any sources, but not component videoor S-video, connect the Composite Video Monitor output on the receiverto a composite video input on the display. See Figure 32.Figure 32 – S-Video and Composite Video Monitor OutputsConsult the manual for your TV to make sure you understand how toselect each video input.Step Six – Plug in AC PowerHaving made all of your wiring connections, it is now time to plug eachcomponent’s AC power cord into a working outlet.You may plug one device into the AC Switched Accessory Outlet on therear of the AVR 247. See Figure 33. Make sure this device draws nomore than 50 watts. The device should have its mechanical or masterpower switch turned on, and it will power on any time the AVR 247 isturned on.Figure 33 – Switched AC Accessory OutletBefore plugging the AVR 247’s AC Power Cord into an electrical outlet,make sure that the Master Power Switch on the front panel is poppedThe BridgeTM
