28 28INSTALLATIONRemember 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 listen to audio orview videos stored on your iPod (not included), use your AVR 350remote 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 350. 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 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 26).Connect 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 350’s ability to transcodeanalog video signals to HDMI, and you may proceed to Step Six.IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 350 cannot convert 1080i or1080p analog video signals to the HDMI format and outputs 1080isignals, as is, to the Component Video Outputs. This affects usersof Microsoft Xbox 360 systems and some older set-top boxes.If your digital cable television set-top box outputs 1080i or highervideo via component video outputs only contact your cable operatorfor a replacement unit equipped with an HDM output.For Xbox 360 or satellite receivers with no HDMI output, connectthe AVR’s Component Video Monitor Outputs to the TV, or changethe settings on your source device so that it outputs only 720pvideo through its component video outputs, which the AVR canconvert to the HDMI format. Although you could connect the sourcedevice’s component video outputs directly to your video display, youwould then have to select the correct video input on the display tomatch the AVR’s input.Figure 30 – HDMI OutputIf your television does not have HDMI or DVI video inputs, make a com-ponent video connection to the display.Connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs on the AVR to one setof component video inputs on your display. See Figure 31. The AVR 350is able to transcode composite and S-video sources to componentvideo. If your video display has component video inputs, then you needonly to connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs and you mayproceed to Step Six.Figure 31 – Component Video Monitor OutputsIf your display does not have component video inputs, connect theS-video Monitor output on the AVR to an S-video input on your display.See Figure 32. The AVR 350 converts composite video sources toS-video. If your video display has S-video inputs, then you need only toconnect the S-Video Monitor Output and you may proceed to Step Six.If your display only has composite video inputs, connect the CompositeVideo Monitor output on the receiver to a composite video input on thedisplay. 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 350. 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 350 isturned on.Figure 33 – Switched AC Accessory OutletBefore plugging the AVR 350’s AC Power Cord into an electrical outlet,make sure that the Master Power Switch on the front panel is poppedout so that the word OFF appears on its top. Gently press the button toturn the switch off. This will prevent the possibility of damaging the AVRin case of a transient power surge.The AVR 350 is equipped with a detachable power cord. It allowsyou to fully wire your system before installing the AVR, which may berequired for some in-wall entertainment centers or custom applications.The male end of the cord should be plugged into an unswitched ACpower outlet, and the female end should be plugged into the receptacleon the AVR 350’s rear panel. See Figure 34.The BridgeTM
