	compatible. If they are not, please connect them using the component, S-Video or composite video
	jacks.
	• Depending on the connected source component, it’s possible that it will not work with this receiver
	(even if it is HDCP-compatible). In this case, connect using the component, S-Video or composite
	video jacks between source and receiver.
	• If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your monitor,
	please consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for support.
	• If video images do not appear on your TV or flat panel TV, try adjusting the resolution, DeepColor
	or other setting for your component.
	• If ‘NOT SUPPORT’ appears in the receiver’s display, try adjusting the resolution, DeepColor or
	other setting for your component.
	• While analog video signals are being output over HDMI, use a separate connection for audio
	output.
	• When this receiver reproduces MULTI CH IN audio sources with the HDMI setting set to
	THROUGH, you cannot hear audio output from all channels. In this case, make a digital or analog
	audio connection.

	video quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The picture quality may
	also depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect
	the source and display device using the same type of connection (component, S-Video or
	composite), then start playback again.
	• If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your monitor,
	please consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for support.
