AVR347
The AVR 347 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility via the HDMI
connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.
CD and Tape Audio Inputs:
audio-only source components (e.g., CD player, tape deck). Do not
connect a turntable to these jacks without a phono preamp.
Tape Outputs:
These jacks may be used to connect a CDR or
another audio-only recorder.
Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Inputs:
a compatible digital audio output, connect it to one of these jacks
for improved audio performance. Use only one type of digital audio
connection for each source.
Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs:
an audio recorder, you may connect a compatible digital audio output
to the recorder's input for improved recording quality.
The Bridge/DMP Input:
The Bridge to this input for use with your iPod (not included). Make
TM
sure the receiver is turned off (in Standby mode) when connecting
The Bridge.
6-/8-Channel Inputs:
outputs of a DVD-Audio, SACD
(or any other external decoder) to these jacks to enjoy these proprietary
formats.
NOTE: When an HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc player has an
onboard digital decoder, it is not necessary to connect it to
the 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs. Only a digital audio
connection (HDMI, coaxial or optical) is needed.
Component Video Inputs:
player or HDTV tuner) and your television or video display have analog
component video (Y/Pb/Pr) capability and if you are not using HDMI
connections for the device, then you may connect the component video
outputs of the source to one of the two component video inputs. Do
not make any other video connections to that source.
Component Video Monitor Outputs:
the Component Video Inputs and your television or video display is
component-video-capable and if you are not connecting the HDMI
output to our display, you may connect these jacks to the corresponding
inputs on your video display.
NOTES:
• Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output at the
Component Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protected
sources.
• High-resolution 1080i and 1080p video signals are not
available at the HDMI Output, and are downconverted to
720p for the Component Video Outputs. If your source output
is analog high-resolution video, either use the Component
Video Outputs, lower the output resolution of your source
device, or connect your source's component video outputs
directly to your video display.

• Due to the design of some video displays, analog 480p or
720p component video source signals may produce artifacts
when used with the AVR's analog video outputs (composite,
S-video or component video). If this occurs, try changing the
Video Mode setting in the INPUT SETUP menu, or connecting
the source device's video output directly to your video display.
However, for best results, we recommend you consider
upgrading to an HDMI-capable video display.
