OPERATIONThe source name will appear in the upper line of the front-panel display.If you retitled the source, only the new title will appear. Otherwise, theaudio input assigned to the source (analog or one of the digital audioinputs) will also appear. The surround mode will be displayed on thelower line. The same information will also appear on screen in thesemi-OSD, unless you have set the semi-OSD to OFF in the SystemSetup menu, as described in the Advanced Functions section.Audio Input SelectionThe AVR 247 is programmed at the factory to use the analog audioinputs for each source (except for the DVD, Video 2, HDMI 1 andHDMI 2 sources; see Table 6). To assign a digital audio input to asource (if you have not done so using the Input Setup menu duringInitial Setup), press the Digital Button on the remote or front panel. Thecurrent audio input selection will flash in the display, and you may pressthe ⁄ /¤ (or ‹/› on the front panel) Buttons to scroll through theaudio inputs. When the desired input appears, press the Set Button toselect it. See Figure 67.Figure 67 – Digital Input SelectionIf the Auto Poll feature is ON in the Input Setup menu, and if a digitalaudio input has been assigned to the source, the AVR 247 will firstcheck the digital audio input for a signal. If a signal is present, theAVR 247 will select the digital audio input. If no signal is present,the AVR 247 will switch to the analog audio inputs for the source.Video Input SelectionWhen a source is selected, the AVR 247 switches to a video inputas follows:The VIDEO IN line of the Input Setup menu indicates which of the videoinputs on the AVR 247 is assigned to each source. As shown in Table 5,by default the Component Video 1 input is assigned to the DVD source,the Component Video 2 input is assigned to the Video 1 source, and theComponent Video 3 input is assigned to the Video 2 source. The twoHDMI inputs obtain the video signal from their own inputs, and may notbe reassigned to another video input.If your iPod is capable of playing still-images and videos, it may be usedas a video source. However, you may reassign the video input for TheBridge to another device for viewing while listening to audio files storedon the iPod.All other sources default to the COMPOSITE setting, meaning that theymay only be used with their composite or S-video inputs. The AVR 247will transcode the incoming composite or S-video signal and make itavailable using the HDMI or Component Video Monitor Outputs, enablinga single-cable connection to your television.NOTES:• Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output at theComponent Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protected sources.• High-resolution 1080i and 1080p video signals are not avail-able at the HDMI Output, and are downconverted to 720p forthe Component Video Monitor Outputs. If your source outputsanalog high-resolution video, either use the Component VideoOutputs, change the output resolution of your source deviceto 720p, or connect your source’s component video outputsdirectly to your video display.• Due to the design of some video displays, analog 480p or720p component video source signals may produce artifactswhen used with the AVR’s analog video outputs (composite,S-video or component video). If this occurs, try changing theVideo Mode setting in the INPUT SETUP menu, or connectingthe source device’s video output directly to your video display.However, for best results, we recommend that you considerupgrading to an HDMI-capable video display.• The AVR 247 cannot convert 1080i or 1080p analog videosignals to the HDMI format and downconverts them to 720p forthe Component Video Outputs. This affects users of MicrosoftXbox 360 systems and some older set-top boxes. If your digitalcable television set-top box outputs 1080i or higher video viacomponent video outputs and is not equipped with an HDMIoutput, contact your cable operator for a replacement. For Xbox360 or satellite receivers with no HDMI output, change thesettings 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 thesource device’s component video outputs directly to your videodisplay, you would then have to select the correct video inputon the display to match the AVR’s input.The component video inputs may be reassigned to other source inputsas needed, depending on the physical connections you made during theInstallation procedure.If a signal is present at the component video input assigned to thatsource, it will be selected.If no signal is present at the component video input, then the S-video orcomposite video input for the source will be selected. It is not possibleto reassign the S-video or composite video inputs to other sources.For audio-only sources, such as the tuner or CD inputs, when no compo-nent video signal is present, the last-used video source will be selected.6-/8-Channel Direct InputsIf you wish to hear audio through the 6-/8-Channel Direct Inputs togetherwith video, then connect your multichannel player to the ComponentVideo 1 Inputs, and connect the player’s 6- or 8-channel analog audiooutputs to the 6-/8-Channel Inputs on the AVR. Assign the componentvideo inputs you selected to the 6-/8-Channel Input source. The AVRwill automatically select the correct component video and audio inputswhen you select this source.28AVR247 harman/kardon
