How can i connect my vcr to my harmon karden 247 receiver

HI Marc
Follow the steps below
Step 1:
Connect the green connector from the subwoofer into the headphone jack on the laptop, the black connector is not used, leave the rubber cap on the black connector to prevent static from the pin grounding on the system.
Step 2:
Plug the orange connector from the right/control satellite into the orange jack on the subwoofer.
Step 3:
Plug the brown connector from the left satellite into the brown jack on the subwoofer.
Step 4:
Plug the AC plug of the HK 965 into the wall outlet
Step 5:
Turn on the speaker set and adjust the volume accordingly.
PS: Do not Forget to adjust the Laptop volume also to minimize Distortion. Enjoy!

Please see my other answers for Harman Kardon issues. If you can't find them, please respond back here.

Nope, 3385 is Stereo only, IE right and left. It has no processing for multi channel audio. It is an absolutely fantastic bullet proof stereo receiver but will never operate as a home theater unit.

If you want a center and rears you need and AVR series receiver.

Cheers,

I have this exact setup. 901s are my Mains.

The AVR247 has PreOuts on all of the channels.. No jumper to remove either. Just get a power amp or two and place the 901 EQ between the AVR247 and the Power Amplifier.

Use your remote to get into the Menu. Look for something called audio, or audio properties. In there you can choose your inputs (sources) and output choices.

On the remote itself, there should be a button called input, or source. That would be for things input to the TV.....such as dvd, vcr.

Sounds like the setup info got scrambled in the receiver. Re-program the TV input...from optical or coax or whatever way it is going into the receiver.

Similar problem...I came up with a solution with help from Onyko. For my receiver, at least, the bottom line was that the output from the equalizer MUST go to 'Receiver, Tape In'! Since that is the ONLY input source from the equalizer, you must combine elsewhere. Part of my setup included the Radio Shack Audio/Video Selector box which costs $21.99...you might not need it, but in my case, I couldn't plug all components into the back of the receiver and have them go through the equalizer.

Since I have a satellite receiver, DVD player and TV, that I want to route through the equalizer, here is the way mine is set up and working:

Satellite receiver and DVD player out to Radio Shack audio/video selector

Audio/video selector out to VCR in.

VCR video directly to TV

VCR audio red/white (audio) out to equalizer

Equalizer out to Receiver Tape IN (Receiver Out not used)

Hope this (or a variation of it) helps.

I have exactly the same problem - don't work with CDs either, just radio. Just installed the deck yesterday. Help would be appreciated. Have been through the manual front-to-back.

s-video is a legacy connection. legacy means obsolete and this will impare your image.

what you should do is connect the cable box and blue ray directly to tv with hdmi cable, then run audio cables back to the reciever from these devices. the vcr and regular dvd player would be routed through the reciever the conventional way. you would have to change the inputs on the tv between the cable box, and blue ray if u have one, and a seperate single tv imput for components running thru the stereo. you would have to use the reciever to select between audio sources, and the video sources between the vcr and dvd only.
