Connecting Other SourcesThe video conversion function

•The AVR-5805CI is equipped with a function for up and down converting video signals.

Because of this, the AVR-5805CI’s MONITOR OUT terminal can be connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a higher quality connection, regardless of how the player and the AVR-5805CI’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).

: only MAIN ZONE 480i/576i

Cautions on the ZONE2 video conversion function:

•There is no TBC (Time Base Collector) for ZONE2.

When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVR-5805CI with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video (yellow) or S-Video terminals are used to connect the AVR-5805CI with a VCR, depending on the combination of the TV and VCR 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-5805CI and the VCR, or if your VCR has a TBC function, turn it on.

NOTE:

•It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI and DVI-D 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).

•It is not possible to down-convert from the ZONE2’s component video signal to a S-Video or composite signal, so when not using the ZONE2’s component monitor output terminal, use an S-Video connection cable or composite connection cable to connect the AVR-5805CI with the player.

•To set the video conversion function for the MAIN ZONE

to “OFF” ( page 112).

•Set the resolution of the video output to one that is compatible with the resolution of your monitor.

•When “Component” is set at “Scaler” under “HDMI/Component Out”, the signals are output to the HDMI/DVI-D monitor output terminal with their original resolution. Use a monitor compatible with a resolution of 480i/576i.

2The analog video to HDMI conversion function:

The AVR-5805CI’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-5805CI, the resolution of the signal output to the HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal can be selected ( page 113, 114). The resolutions with which the monitor is compatible can be checked using the STATUS button on the main unit or the ON SCREEN button on the remote control unit.

•The resolution of the signal output to the component monitor output terminal can be set on the AVR-5805CI.

•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/Component Out

Setup”( page 113, 114).

In this case, the function for video up conversion to the component video terminal operates.

On screen display for component video outputs and HDMI output

•When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via the AVR-5805CI, 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/Component Out” to “ON” (default).

•When only component video signals are input to the AVR- 5805CI, the characters of the on screen display are not displayed over the picture.
