want to set the Video Input Mode.

 

AUTO:

When there are multiple input signals, the input signals are detected and the input signal to be output from the video

 

monitor output terminal is selected automatically in the following order: component video, S-Video, composite video.

Component:

The signal connected to the component video terminal is always played.

 

Video conversion is not conducted, so no image is output from the monitor output terminal when there is no input signal

 

to the component terminal.

S-Video:

The signal connected to the S-Video terminal is always played.

 

The S-Video input signal is converted and output from the composite and component monitor output terminal.

Video:

The signal connected to the composite video terminal is always played.

 

The composite video input signal is up-converted and output from the S-Video and component monitor output terminals.

NOTE:

Down-converting from the component video signal to the S-Video and composite video signal is not possible, so when not using the component video monitor output terminal connect the player using the S-Video or composite video input terminal.

Cautions on the video conversion function:

When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3803/1083 with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video (yellow) or S video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3803/1083 with a VTR, depending on the combination of the TV and VTR the picture may flicker in the horizontal direction, be distorted, be out of sync or not display at all when playing video tapes.

If this happens, connect a commercially available video stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function between the AVR- 3803/1083 and the VTR, or if your VTR has a TBC function, turn it on.
