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-3801’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-3801 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-3801’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.
