Figure 32 – HDMI Monitor OutputComponent Video: If the display does not have HDMI inputs, butdoes have component video inputs, connect the Component VideoMonitor Outputs to the display (see Figure 33). As with HDMI connec-tions, the AVR 354 is capable of converting composite and S-videosources to the component video format, while upscaling the resolution toas high as 1080i, depending on the display’s capabilities. Unlike HDMIconnections, component video connections do not enable the AVR 354to detect the display’s capabilities and the appropriate resolution mustbe selected manually, as described in the Initial Setup section.Figure 33 – Component Video Monitor OutputsComposite/S-Video: If the video display does not have HDMI orcomponent video inputs, connect the corresponding composite orS-video Monitor Output to the display. If available, S-video is preferredover composite video, and if used, the AVR 354 will convert compositevideo sources to S-video. See Figure 34.Figure 34 – Composite and S-Video Monitor OutputsConsult the manual for your TV to make sure you understand howto select the correct 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 354. See Figure 35. 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 354 isturned on. If the device has a clock or must always be on, do not plugit into this outlet.Figure 35 – Switched AC Accessory OutletBefore plugging the AVR 354’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 354 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 354’s rear panel. See Figure 36.Figure 36 – AC Power InputStep Seven – Insert Batteries in RemoteThe AVR 354 remote control uses four AAA batteries, which are included.To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote,squeeze the tab and lift the cover.Insert the batteries, as shown in Figure 37, making sure to observethe correct polarity.AVR 354AVR 354AVR 354AVR 354AVR 35430 30INSTALLATION
