format.
• When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some other source is input, the video
conversion function might not operate.
• When not using this function, connect a monitor output with the same type of connector as the video
input connector.
• The resolution of the HDMI input-compatible monitor connected to the AVR-989 can be checked at menu
“Information” – “HDMI Information” (vpage 49).
• When viewing HDMI or component video signals via the AVR-989, the on-screen display appears when
the MENU button on the main unit or the A.MENU button on the main remote control unit is operated.
• When only HDMI or component video signals are input to the AVR-989, the characters of the on-screen
