About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is HDMI and high-definition component video: since these resolutions cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI/component video outputs when

connecting these video sources.2

If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Setup menu on page 64), the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, S-video, then composite (in that order).

•For optimal video performance, THX recommends switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the Video options on page 69) OFF.

Note

1You must assign the input source to the S-video input to which you’ve connected your video component (see The Input Setup menu on page 64).

2If the video signal does not appear on your TV or plasma display, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the Video options on page 69) OFF.
