NOTES:

• The on-screen display signals are not output from the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.

• The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-3300’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-3300 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 28.)

• The AVR-3300’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.

• The setup menu is not displayed when “HEADPHONE ONLY” is selected.
