Connecting Other Sources
•The AVR-4806CI is equipped with a function for up and down
converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-4806CI’s MONITOR OUT terminal
can be connected to the TV (monitor) with a set of cables
offering a higher quality connection, regardless of how the
player and the AVR-4806CI’s video input terminals are
connected.
Generally speaking, analog video connections using the
component video terminals offer the highest quality
playback, followed by connections using the S-Video
terminals, then connections using the regular video
terminals (yellow).

The video conversion function

NOTE:
•It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI/DVI input
signals to the component, S-Video or composite video
monitor output terminals.
•Video down conversion to the MAIN ZONE’s monitor
output is only possible when the component video input
resolution is 480i (interlaced standard definition video –
NTSC format, for North America) or 576i (interlaced
standard definition video – PAL format, for Europe and
other countries).
•To set the video conversion function for the MAIN ZONE
to “OFF” ( page 107).

On screen display for component video

outputs and HDMI output

•When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via
the AVR-4806CI, the on screen display is displayed on the
monitor when the “System Setup” operations are
performed and when the remote control unit’s ON SCREEN
button is operated.
•To view the on screen display using an HDMI monitor, set
“Analog to HDMI Convert” at “HDMI Out Setup” to “ON”
(default).
•When only component video signals are input to the AVR-
4806CI, the characters of the on screen display are not
displayed over the picture.

¢The analog video to HDMI conversion function:

•The AVR-4806CI’s video up-conversion function lets you
output analog video input signals (component – 480i/576i,
480p/576p, 1080i or 720p; S-Video and composite video -
480i/576i) to the HDMI monitor output terminal.
•With the AVR-4806CI, the resolution of the signal output to
the HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal can be selected (
page 108, 109). The resolutions with which the monitor is
compatible can be checked using the STATUSbutton on the
main unit or the ON SCREEN button on the remote control
unit.
•If you do not want to use the function for converting analog
video signals to HDMI signals, select “OFF” for “Analog to
HDMI Convert” at “Setting the HDMI Out Setup”( page
108, 109).
In this case, the function for video up conversion to the
component video terminal operates.
