Harman Kardon AVR 347 Owner's Manual page 27

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MICROSOFT
The Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming system is capable of outputting
high-definition 1080i and 1080p video signals using the analog
component video outputs. Since the AVR 347 is not capable of
converting these analog component video signals to the HDMI
format, although 1080i signals are passed through, as is, to
the Component Video Outputs, to view your Xbox 360's video
output, connect the AVR's or Xbox's component video outputs
to your video display, or change your Xbox 360's settings so
that it outputs 720p video, which the AVR 347 can then convert
to the HDMI format.
DVD
The DVD source is used for a DVD player. If you have a more advanced
multichannel device, such as a Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD player, you may
connect it to the DVD source, or to one of the HDMI sources.
Referring to Table 2, connect your DVD player to the DVD Analog
Audio inputs and to the Coaxial 1 Digital Audio input. If possible, use
the Component Video 1 inputs. Otherwise, connect the DVD player's
S-video or composite video output to the matching DVD video input.
See Figure 24.

If your DVD player plays multichannel lossless discs, such as SACD or
DVD-Audio, or when an HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc player is used, you
may also need to connect the 6- or 8-channel analog audio outputs on
the player to the 6-/8-channel analog audio inputs on the receiver, in
order to enjoy these discs to their fullest. See Figure 25.
Figure 25 – 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs
NOTE: The multichannel analog audio connection is not required
for DVD-Audio players compliant with HDMI version 1.1 or better,
or HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc players that decode the digital audio
internally and output linear PCM signals in digital format. Consult
the owner's guide for your disc player for more information.
HDMI 1 and 2
The HDMI sources are used with devices that are capable of outputting
digital, audio and video through an HDMI connection, such as an
HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc player or HDTV tuner. The HDMI 1 and 2
sources are not used with any of the 2-channel analog audio or video
inputs on the AVR 347.
Make sure your video display is HDMI-capable, and for many source
devices, the display must be HDCP-compliant (High-Bandwidth Digital
® XBOX ® 360 USERS:
INSTALLATION
Content Protection) in order to display copy-protected materials. If the
source device is not capable of outputting digital audio via its HDMI
output, connect its coaxial or optical digital audio output to an available
input on the AVR. If the source device plays multichannel discs (e.g.,
DVD-Audio, SACD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray Disc), connect its multichannel
analog audio outputs to the AVR 347's 6-/8-Channel Inputs (but see
the note that follows Figure 25). Connect one of the source's analog
video outputs to a source input on the AVR (e.g., Component Video 3
or Video 3) and select that source input, then select the 6-/8-Channel
Inputs for audio; the AVR 347 will retain the last video selection other
than HDMI. See Figure 26.
The AVR 347 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility via the HDMI
connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.
If your video display is equipped with a DVI (Digital Video Interface)
input, you may use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (not included).

CD
The CD source is used for a strictly audio device, such as a CD player.
Referring to Table 2, connect your CD player to the CD Analog Audio
inputs and to any available digital audio input. See Figure 27.

No video connections are needed.
Tape
The Tape source is used for audio-only recorders, such as a CDR,
MiniDisc or cassette deck.
Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Tape Analog Audio
inputs and outputs, and to any available digital audio input (and corre-
sponding digital audio output). See Figure 28.
Figure 28 – Tape Audio Inputs and Outputs, and Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs
Remember to connect the output jacks on your recorder to the Tape
or digital audio input jacks on the AVR, and the input jacks on your
recorder to the Tape or digital audio output jacks on the AVR.
No video connections are needed.
