OPERATION

NOTES ON VIDEO PLAYBACK:

• Before attempting to play videos stored on your iPod, check

the Video Settings menu on the iPod and make sure that the
TV Out setting is set to On. The TV Signal setting should be
NTSC to match the capabilities of your video display. Set
Widescreen to On or Off, depending on the aspect ratio of
your video display. If your selection was playing and paused
at the time you changed the TV Out setting, the iPod may
require you to navigate its menu system and reselect the
video for the new TV Out setting to take effect. Resuming
play from the Now Playing function may not reflect the
change to the TV Out setting. This is a function of the iPod,
not the AVR 347.

• In Video mode, the iPod’s menus will not be visible on your

video display, although you may view them on the iPod’s
screen. You may operate the iPod using the AVR remote,
as long as it is in The Bridge device mode.

• You may view the AVR’s on-screen displays while The Bridge

is in use, just as you would with any other video source.

• The MP4 and H.264 video formats often used for videos to

be played on the iPod are intended for optimal performance
on the iPod’s small screen. Playback on larger displays may
have different results.

Selecting a Surround Mode

Surround mode selection can be as simple or sophisticated as your
individual system and tastes. Feel free to experiment with the many
available surround modes on the AVR 347, and you may find a few that
become your favorites for certain sources or program types. Although
more detailed information on surround modes may be found in the
Advanced Functions section, it is easy to select any of the modes
available at a given time:

To select a surround mode using the front-panel controls, press the
Surround Mode Button repeatedly until the desired group of modes is
selected: Logic 7, Dolby, DTS, DSP or Stereo. Then press the Surround
Select Button repeatedly to select the desired mode within the group.
See Figure 84.
