Basic Operation
Once you have completed the setup and configu-
ration of the AVR, it is simple to operate and
enjoy. The following instructions should be
followed for you to maximize your enjoyment of
your new receiver:
Turning the AVR On or Off
• When using the AVR for the first time, you must
press the Main Power Switch
1
on the front
panel to turn the unit on.This places the unit in a
Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of
the Power Indicator
3
. Once the unit is in
Standby, you may begin a listening session by
pressing the System Power Control
2
or the
Source button
%
on the front panel or the
AVR Selector
5
. Note that the Power
Indicator
3
will turn blue. This will turn the unit
on and return it to the input source that was last
used.The unit may also be turned on from
Standby by pressing any of the Source Selector
buttons on the remote
4567
CD
I or the Source button
%
on the front panel.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector
buttons
4
(except VID3) to turn the unit on,
press the AVR Selector
5
to have the remote
control the AVR functions.
To turn the unit off at the end of a listening ses-
sion, simply press the System Power Control
2
on the front panel or the Power Off
Button
3
A on the remote. Power will be
shut off to any equipment plugged into the rear
panel Switched AC Outlets
G
and the
Power Indicator
3
will turn orange.
When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it
is actually placing the system in a Standby mode,
as indicated by the orange color of the Power
Indicator
3
.
When you will be away from home for an
extended period of time it is always a good idea
to completely turn the unit off with the front
panel Main Power Switch
1
.
NOTE: All preset memories may be lost if the
unit is left turned off with the Main Power
Switch
1
for more than two weeks.
Using the Sleep Timer
• To program the AVR for automatic turn-off,
press the Sleep Button
9
on the remote. Each
press of the button will increase the time before
shut down in the following sequence:
The sleep time will be displayed in the Main
Information Display
Ò
and it will count
down until the time has elapsed.
When the programmed sleep time has elapsed,
the unit will automatically turn off (to Standby
mode). Note that the front panel display will dim
to one half brightness when the Sleep function
is programmed.To cancel the Sleep function,
press and hold the Sleep Button
9
until the
information display returns to normal brightness
and the Sleep indicator numbers disappear and
the words SLEEPOFFappear in the
Main Information Display
Ò
.
Source Selection
For direct access to any source, press its Input
Selector
467e
CDI on the
remote. Since the AVR 347 allows for more
source input devices than the remote has
buttons for, some sources are required to share
buttons. These are the DVD and CD sources, the
Tape and The Bridge sources, and the HDMI 1
and HDMI 2 sources. The first press of any of
these three Input Selectors will select the source
whose name appears on the button, i.e., DVD,
Tape or HDMI 1. Press that Input Selector again
to select the source whose name appears above
the button (i.e., CD, The Bridge or HDMI 2), and
the LED on the remote will light in green to
indicate that you have selected the source
whose name is printed in green above the
button. Each additional press toggles between
the two sources.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector
buttons
4
to turn the unit on, press the
AVR Selector
5
to have the remote control
the AVR functions.
• The input source may also be changed by
pressing the front-panel Input Source
Selector button
%
. Each press of the button
will move the input selection through the list of
available inputs.
• The front-panel Video 4 Inputs
Ô
, Optical
Digital 4 Input
*
or the Coaxial Digital 4
Input
Ó
may be used to connect a device such
as a video game or camcorder to your home
entertainment system on a temporary basis.
• As the input source is changed, the new input
name will appear momentarily as an on-screen
display in the lower third of the video display.
The input name will also appear in the Main
Information Display
Ò
and a blue LED will
light next to the selected input’s name in the
front-panel Input Indicators
.
• When Digital Media Player (DMP)
source is selected, if a compatible Apple iPod
device is inserted in an optional Harman Kardon
that is connected to DMP
Connector
8
on the rear panel, function mes-
sages will appear on any video display connect-
ed to the AVR’s Video Monitor Outputs
B
,
and the remote control may be used to navigate
the iPod and access many of its functions.The
function messages will also appear in the front-
panel display, and the iPod’s battery may be
charged. See the owner’s guides for
and your iPod for more information.
Video Input Selection
When a source is selected, the AVR switches to a
video input as follows:
The
VideoInline of the Input Setup menu
indicates which of the component video inputs
on the AVR is assigned to each source. By
default the Component Video 1 input is assigned
to the DVD source, the Component Video 2 input
is assigned to the Video 1 source, and the
Component Video 3 input is assigned to the
Video 2 source.
The two HDMI inputs obtain the video signal
from their own inputs, and may not be
reassigned to another video input.
If your iPod is capable of playing still-images and
videos, it may be used as a video source.
However, you may reassign the video input for
The Bridge to another device for viewing while
listening to audio files stored on the iPod.
All other sources default to the Composite
setting, meaning that they may only be used
with their composite or S-video inputs. The AVR
will transcode the incoming composite or
S-video signal and make it available using the
HDMI or component video monitor outputs,
enabling a single-cable connection to your
television.
The component video inputs may be reassigned
to other source inputs as needed, depending on
the physical connections you made during the
Installation procedure.
If a signal is present at the component video
input assigned to that source, it will be selected.
If no signal is present at the component video
input, then the S-video or composite video input
for the source will be selected. It is not possible
to reassign the S-video or composite video
inputs to other sources.
For audio-only sources, such as the tuner or CD
inputs, when no component video signal is
present, the last-used video source will be
selected.
