Analog Audio
Analog connections require two cables, one for the left channel (white)
and one for the right channel (red). These two cables are often attached
to each other for most of their length. See Figure 7.
Most sources that have digital audio jacks also have analog audio jacks,
although some older types of sources, such as tape decks, have only
analog jacks. For sources that are capable of both digital and analog
audio, you may wish to make both connections.
The analog audio connection is strongly recommended if you intend to
use the source with the multiroom system. It’s required if you will be
using the multiroom preamp outputs with an external amplifier to power
your remote speakers, as the AVR 347’s multiroom system is not capa-
ble of converting the digital signal to analog format. It’s suggested that
you also use the analog audio connections when using the surround
back/multiroom speaker outputs, in case another two-channel digital
audio source is in use in the main listening area. The AVR 347 is only
capable of processing one PCM source at a time.
If you wish to record materials from DVDs or other copy-protected
sources, you may only do so using analog connections. Remember to
comply with all copyright laws, if you choose to make a copy for your
own personal use.
Figure 7 – Analog Audio
Multichannel analog connections are used with some high-definition
sources where the copy-protected digital content is decoded inside the
source. These types of connections are usually used with DVD-Audio,
SACD, Blu-ray Disc, HD-DVD and other multichannel players. See Figure 8.
However, 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.
Figure 8 – Multichannel Analog Audio
Harman Kardon receivers also include a proprietary, dedicated audio
connection called “The Bridge/DMP”. If you own an iPod with a dock
connector, you may separately purchase The Bridge and connect it to
The Bridge/DMP port on the receiver. See Figure 9. Dock your iPod
(not included) in The Bridge, and you may listen to your audio materials
through your high-performance audio system. If your iPod is photo-
or video-capable, you may view still images or video materials stored
on the iPod using your home theater system. You may even use the
AVR 347 remote to control the iPod, with navigation messages displayed
on the front panel and on a video display connected to the AVR. The
Bridge outputs analog audio to the AVR 347, and it is available to the
multiroom system.

Video Connections
Although some sources produce an audio signal only (e.g., CD player,
tape deck), many sources output both audio and video signals (e.g.,
DVD player, cable television box, HDTV tuner, satellite box, VCR, DVR).
In addition to the audio connection, you will need to connect one type
of video connection for each source (never more than one at the same
time for any source).
Digital Video
If you have already connected a source device to one of the HDMI
inputs as explained in the Digital Audio Connections section, then you
have automatically made a video connection at the same time, as the
HDMI signal includes both digital audio and video components.
If the source device is not capable of transmitting its digital audio signal
through the HDMI connection, then use one of the coaxial or optical
digital audio inputs for the source.
If a multichannel analog audio connection is required for certain lossless
formats (e.g., DVD-Audio, SACD, HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc), you may
make both audio connections, but you must also make an analog video
connection. To listen to the multichannel disc, first select the analog
video source input, then select the 6-/8-channel analog audio inputs, and
the AVR will retain the last video source you selected other than HDMI.
The AVR 347 is Simplay HD-verified for compatibility via the HDMI
connection with other Simplay HD-verified products.

Analog Video
There are three types of analog video connections: composite video,
S-video and component video. Composite video is the basic connection
most commonly available. The jack is usually color-coded yellow, and
looks like an analog audio jack, although it is important never to confuse
the two. Do not plug a composite video cable into an analog or coaxial
digital audio jack, or vice versa. Both the chrominance (color) and
luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted
using a single cable. See Figure 10.

components using separate wires contained within a single cable. The
