INSTALLATIONremote 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 347. 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).If you used an HDMI video connection for any of your sources, then con-nect the HDMI Output on the AVR to an HDMI input on your video display.See Figure 30. Consult the owner’s guide for your television to learnthe proper procedure for disabling or muting the audio. Unless you have anon-HDMI source device that outputs 1080i or higher video via an analogcomponent video connection (see note below), no other video connectionsare required, thanks to the AVR 347’s ability to transcode analog videosignals to HDMI, and you may proceed to Step Six.IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 347 cannot convert 1080i or1080p analog video signals to the HDMI format and downconvertsthem to 720p for 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, 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, 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.Component video is preferred, followed by S-video and then compositevideo. Ideally, this guided you in selecting the video connections for yoursources.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 347 is able to transcodecomposite and S-video sources to component video. If your video dis-play has component video inputs, then you need only to connect theComponent Video 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 347 converts composite video sources to S-video. If your videodisplay has S-video inputs, then you need only 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 347. 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 347 isturned on.Figure 33 – Switched AC Accessory OutletBefore plugging the AVR 347’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 347 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 347’s rear panel.
