About the video converter

When the video converter is enabled, all analog video sources are output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks (HDMI and high- definition progressive component video cannot

be converted).1 See Digital Video Converter Setup on page 65 to switch the video converter on or off.

If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Assign menu on page 62), the converter gives priority to component, S-video, then composite (in that order).

Note

1You must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI/component video outputs when connecting these video sources. If 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, use an (analog) S-video or composite connection.
