INSTALLATION
Figure 21 – Connecting a Component-Video-Equipped Disc Player
If the player is capable of playing multichannel discs, including DVD-Audio,
SACD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc, make the following additional connection
(see Figure 20):
• Connect the DVD player’s 6-channel analog audio outputs to the
6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs on the AVR.
Composite/S-Video: If the best video connection common to both the
DVD player and the TV is either S-video or composite video, follow these
steps (see Figure 22):
• Connect the DVD player’s S-video or composite video output (use one
connection only) to the corresponding DVD Video Input on the AVR.
• Connect the DVD player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 1
input on the AVR.
If the player is capable of playing multichannel discs, including DVD-Audio,
SACD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc, make the following additional connection
(see Figure 22):
• Connect the DVD player’s 6-channel analog audio outputs to the
6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs on the AVR.

NOTES:
• Where a given type of connection is called for, e.g., HDMI,
component video or digital audio, you may use any available
input of that type. We recommend connections solely because
they are assigned by default to certain source inputs.
• If you wish to make recordings from a DVD, use the DVD
S-video or composite video input, and the DVD Analog Audio
inputs in addition to any other connections. The AVR cannot
make recordings from HDMI or component video sources, and
digital audio sources may only be recorded in two channels.
• You may connect the DVD player to the Video 1, Video 2 or
Video 3 source inputs, but you will then be unable to program
the AVR remote to operate the player.
• Connect a Harman Kardon DMC 1000 digital media center to
any available HDMI Input for digital video and any available input
for digital audio, or to the Video 1 Audio/Video Inputs for analog
audio and video. You may make both the analog and digital
audio and video connections, depending on your system
requirements.
Connect an Audio/Video Recorder (PVR, DVR or TiVo)
HDMI Video: If the recorder and the TV both have an HDMI connector,
connect the recorder as follows (see Figure 23):
• Connect the recorder’s HDMI output to the HDMI 2 Input on the AVR.
• Connect the recorder’s optical digital audio output to the Optical 2
input on the AVR.
• Then go to “Composite/S-Video” on page 23 to make recordings,
as the AVR 154 cannot make recordings from digital audio (except
2-channel) and video sources.

Component Video: If the recorder or the TV does not have an
HDMI connector, but they both have component video connectors,
connect the recorder as follows (see Figure 24):
• Connect the recorder’s component video output to the Component
Video 2 Input on the AVR.
