Onkyo HT-RC260 instruction manual Important Note Regarding Video Playback, Nent Video OUT

Page 63

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor- rectly.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out- let, set the AV receiver to Standby.

Important Note Regarding Video Playback

The AV receiver can upconvert component video and composite video sources for display on a TV connected to the HDMI OUT. However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the picture worse or disappear altogether.

In this case, try the following:

1 If the video source is connected to a component video input, connect your TV to the COMPO-

NENT VIDEO OUT.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to the MONITOR OUT V.

2 On the main menu, select “1. Input/Output Assign”, and then select “2. HDMI Input”. Select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “- - - - -” (➔ 34).

3 On the main menu, select “1. Input/Output Assign”, and then select “3. Component Video Input” (➔ 35):

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN1”.

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN2”.

If the video source is connected to composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “- - - - -”.
