INSTALLATION

NOTE:

The AVR 347 is equipped with a total of eight digital

audio inputs, not including the HDMI inputs: six on the rear panel
(Coaxial 1, 2 and 3, Optical 1, 2 and 3) and two on the front
panel (Coaxial 4 and Optical 4). However, there are a total of nine
sources that may be connected to devices that have digital audio
outputs. We recommend certain digital audio connections simply
because, as reflected in Table A1 of the Appendix, those digital
audio inputs are assigned to those sources by default at the factory.
But any digital audio input (except HDMI) may be reassigned to
any source. Since you may not be using all nine source inputs,
you may reassign a digital audio input that is recommended for
a source you aren’t using to another device. Table 2 is a guide;
you may need to make adjustments to fit your system.

Video 1 Source

Since this source includes audio and video recording output jacks, it is
best suited to a video recorder, such as your VCR or DVR/PVR.

Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Video 1 Analog Audio
inputs and outputs

and

to any available coaxial or optical digital audio

input (and corresponding digital audio output). See Figure 20. Use either
the Video 1 S-video or composite video input and output if you wish to
make recordings. If you don’t plan on recording, you may use the
Component Video 2 inputs.

Remember to connect the audio and video

output

jacks on your

recorder to the Video 1 or digital audio

input

jacks on the AVR, and the

audio and video

input

jacks on your recorder to the Video 1 or digital

audio

output

jacks on the AVR.

NOTE:

It isn’t possible to make recordings using component

video or HDMI connections. Keep this in mind as you connect
other source devices that you may wish to make recordings from.

Video 2 Source

The Video 2 source is used only for playback. The AVR 347 remote
control is programmed to operate many brands and models of cable
and satellite television devices, and we recommend connecting your
cable or satellite set-top box to this source.

Referring to Table 2, connect your set-top box to the Video 2 Analog
Audio inputs

and

to the Optical 1 Digital Audio input. If possible, use

the Component Video 3 inputs. Otherwise, connect the set-top box’s
S-video or composite video output to the matching Video 2 video input.
See Figure 21.

Video 3 Source

The Video 3 source is used for playback only. The remote control is
programmed to operate a TV, but you may connect any audio/video
source device to the Video 3 inputs and use the device’s own remote
to control it.

If you receive your television programming using your TV with an antenna
or direct cable connection, connect the analog audio outputs (if available
on your TV) to the Video 3 Analog Audio inputs. See Figure 22.

Do not

connect any video output on the television set to any video input on the
receiver. See Step Five for information on connecting the receiver’s
video monitor outputs to the TV.

NOTE:

You may connect any video source other than a display

device to the Video 3 S-video or composite video inputs.

Video 4 Source

The Video 4 source is used only for playback. It is also generally
reserved for components that are only temporarily connected to the
receiver, such as cameras and game consoles. When not in use, you
may place the supplied covers over the front-panel Video 4 jacks for
a cleaner appearance. Simply snap the covers in place. When you wish
to use the jacks, gently press on the left side of each cover to pivot
it out for removal.

Referring to Table 2, connect your camera or game console to the
Video 4 Analog Audio inputs

and

to either the Coaxial 4 or Optical 4

digital audio input. Connect the component’s S-video or composite
video output to the matching Video 4 video input. See Figure 23.

NOTE:

The Video 4 Input Selector on the remote may be pro-

grammed to operate a television or video display only.
