INITIAL SETUP

The first line indicates that the receiver is currently set to the DVD source.

Press the Set Button, and then use the

›

to view the next source.

The sources will be selected in the following order: Video 1, Video 2,
Video 3, Video 4, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, 6CH Direct, 8CH Direct, DMP/
The Bridge, Tape, CD, TUNER and XM. Pressing the

‹

Button selects

the sources in the reverse order.

For each of these sources, you may adjust the following settings. At a
minimum, you should make sure that sources connected to any of the
component video or digital audio inputs have the correct settings. Other
settings are optional, and you may adjust them at a later time when you
have more experience with the AVR. Refer to the Table A4 worksheet in
the appendix that you filled out during installation as you assign inputs
to each source.

TITLE:

You may change the display name for any source. Not only

does this enable you to customize your system; it helps you to select
the correct source device even when you have forgotten which physical
connections were used.

Move the cursor down to the TITLE line and press the Set Button.
The screen shown in Figure 62 will appear.

Figure 62 – Retitling a Source Input

Use the Navigation Buttons to highlight the desired letter (or other
character), and press the Set Button to add it to the new title, which
will be displayed in the bar at the top of the screen. You may use the
Navigation Buttons, or select the left or right arrow and press the Set
Button, to move the cursor within the new title. To add a space either
move the cursor one character to the right as described above, or
highlight the SPACE indicator on screen and press the Set Button.

You may edit a title by inserting or deleting characters. To insert a new
character between two existing characters, move the cursor to highlight
the character to the right of the insertion point in the bar at the top of
the screen. Then highlight the INS indicator on screen and press the
Set Button. You may now select a character to insert in the new space.
Delete a character by moving the cursor to highlight the unwanted
character in the bar at the top of the screen. Then highlight the DEL
indicator on screen and press the Set Button.

When you have finished entering the new title, highlight the OK indicator
and press the Set Button to return to the Input Setup menu. Although
the Source Input name will remain the same in the Input Setup menu,
the new title will appear in the semi-OSD displays and the front-panel
display as appropriate.

NOTES:

• Only upper case letters are available for titles.

• Normally both the source input and the digital (or analog)

audio input selection appear on the upper line of the semi-
OSD and front-panel displays. When The Bridge source is
selected, its status as CONNECTED or UNPLUGGED appears
in place of the audio input selection. However, when a source
input is retitled, the audio input selection (or status of The
Bridge) no longer appears unless you press the Digital Input
Selector on the remote or front panel.

VIDEO IN:

This setting reflects the video input that is assigned to the

source. The default assignment for all sources is COMPOSITE except
as shown in Table 5:

Table 5 – Default Video Inputs

We recommend that you leave the setting for the HDMI sources as is.
For the other sources, change this setting to reflect use of the Component
1, 2 or 3 Video Input as appropriate. If you used the composite or
S-video input for any source, make sure this setting is COMPOSITE.
(There is no separate selection for S-video.)

NOTE:

If your video display has an HDMI input, then you only

need to connect the AVR’s HDMI Output to the display. The
AVR 347 transcodes analog source video signals up to 720p from
composite, S-video or component video to the HDMI format, and
is also capable of upscaling the signal up to 720p to match your
display’s capabilities. The only exception to this rule is for analog
1080i/p sources, which are not available at the HDMI Output, and
are downconverted to 720p for the Component Video Outputs. If
your source device is a Microsoft Xbox 360 or an older set-top
box that outputs 1080i or higher video via component video
outputs, then set the source to output 720p video, or connect its
component video outputs to your video display.

If your display does not have an HDMI input, but does have compo-
nent video inputs, you only need to connect the AVR’s Component
Video Monitor Outputs to the display. The AVR 347 transcodes com-
posite and S-video signals to the component video format. Similarly,
if your display’s best-quality video input is S-video, you do not need
to connect the Composite Video Monitor Output to the display; any
composite video source signals will be converted to S-video format,
and S-video signals may be converted to composite video format if
your video display is not equipped with an S-video input.
