the next line.
When the cursor is at the VIDEO IN-PORT
line, you are able to select an alternative to the default
input setting for the video input associated with any
source. For the Video 1 and Video 4 inputs, the factory
default of AUTO will select either composite or S-
video, depending on which has an active signal. For
the Video 2, Video 3 and DVD inputs, the AUTO
setting will normally select the default component
input, but if it is not in use, the system will revert to a
composite or S-video output if either one is active.
To have the AVR always look to a specific source con-
nection when an input is selected, make certain that
the on-screen cursor is pointing to the VIDEO
IN-PORT line, and then press the

desired input appears. The default setting for HDMI
inputs is AUTO and normally need not be changed.
However, in systems where the HDMI connection is
used for multichannel audio only (e.g., HDMI 1.1), but
the video connection is component, due to limitations
on the video display, the setting here should be
changed to COMPONENT.
When the desired video input setting has been made,

move to the next line.
If your system includes any sources that are equipped
with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR 645
is able to switch them to send the proper signals to
your video display. Each of the Component Video
Inputs is assigned to a default source, as shown
in the table in the Appendix, but if you have connected
your system differently than the factory settings, you
may select any of the three inputs for any source
except the HDMI inputs or the Tuner. If you do not
need to change these defaults, press the
Navigation Button to go to the next setting.
To change the Component Video assignment, first
make certain that the cursor is pointing to the
COMPONENT INPUT line on the menu
screen, and then press the ‹/› Navigation Button
© until the desired input is highlighted.
When the desired component input has been selected,

At the VIDEO PROCESS line, you are able
to select whether video format conversion is to be
used with the input source being configured. If you

The default setting of V-CONVERSION will
output the incoming video in one of the following ways,
depending on the input source.
• A standard-definition (480i) analog signal (composite,
S-video or component) will be converted so that it is
available as an HDMI signal at its input resolution, as
well as at the standard composite, S-video or com-
ponent analog video outputs. The signal will also be
available at the record outputs.
• An analog component high-definition signal will
be output at its input resolution through the HDMI
outputs and as an analog component signal, but not
through the analog composite or S-video monitor or
record outputs.
• HDMI input signals, regardless of their resolution, will
be output through the HDMI outputs only.
The BYPASS setting will not apply any video
‹ / ›
conversion to the incoming video signal, but it will
output it in one of the following ways, depending on
the input source.
• Analog signals (composite, S-video or component)
will output only in the resolution and format that
matches the input for both the main "Monitor" con-
nection as well as for the record outputs.
• HDMI input signals, regardless of their resolution, will
be output through the HDMI outputs only.

At the A/V SYNC DELAY line, you are able
to enter a setting that delays the audio output slightly
behind the video so that the loss of lip sync that may
occur due to digital video processing in the transmis-
sion of a program, in the playback unit or in the dis-
play is corrected. This lack of lip sync is not a fault of
the sources; rather, it is a by-product of video signal
processing. In most cases, we recommend that the
¤
delay adjustment be made using the direct-access
controls on the remote so that you may more accu-
rately adjust the delay while viewing the on-screen
image, following the instructions shown on page 32,
but you may also make it here using the menu sys-
tem. As the amount of delay needed may vary from
one source to another, we strongly recommend that
you adjust it for each input.

To adjust the A/V sync delay time from the

AVR 645 for special custom features.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to
switch the front-panel coaxial digital audio and analog
audio/video jacks from their normal use as inputs to
output connections so that portable recording devices
may easily be connected.
The front-panel analog Video 4 Jacks N are nor-
mally set as inputs for use with camcorders, video
games and other portable audio/video products, but
