Harman-Kardon AVR 247 - Manual (Page 36)

INITIAL SETUP
If you used a digital audio connection for another source, change this
setting to assign the correct digital audio input to the source, even if you
also connected the analog audio outputs of the source to the receiver.
AUTO POLL: The Auto Poll feature is used when both an analog audio
and digital audio connection have been made for one source device.
If for some reason no digital signal is available, the AVR 247 will switch
to the analog inputs for the source. This situation can occur with some
cable or satellite television broadcasts, where some channels are broad-
cast with digital audio and others with analog audio.
For some sources, the Auto Poll feature is unnecessary and may be
undesirable. For example, if your DVD player is stopped, you may not
want to use the analog audio signal or you may have decided not to
connect analog audio. Move the cursor to this line, press the Set Button
and press the
‹ / › Buttons until OFF appears, disabling the Auto Poll
feature. With Auto Poll turned off, the receiver will only check for a signal
at the audio input assigned to the source.
NOTE: Since The Bridge is connected to the AVR using a
dedicated audio connection, it isn’t possible to select a different
audio input for this source. The AM/FM/XM tuner and 6-/8-
Channel Inputs also use dedicated audio inputs, and it isn’t
possible to select a digital audio input for these sources.
The next three lines in the Input Setup menu activate the tone controls,
and may be skipped at this time. We recommend leaving the tone
controls at their factory defaults for most listening, in order to enjoy the
sound mix created by your favorite movie and music artists. However,
if your room or speakers have unusual characteristics, or simply as
a matter of personal preference, see the Tone Controls section on
page 38 for more information.
VIDEO MODE: This setting is used only with a fully analog video path
(composite, S-video or component video). It has no effect on HDMI
sources and video displays. Due to the design of some analog video
displays and the nature of the video standard, there may be timing
issues with the AVR. If you observe some minor video instability when
using the AVR’s analog video outputs, try changing the Video Mode
setting to Mode B. If you continue to observe problems, connect your
source device’s video output directly to the video display, or consider
upgrading to an HDMI-capable display.
You are now ready to begin enjoying your new receiver!
