Video Conversion Function

This function automatically converts various formats of video signals input to the AVR-988 into the format used to output the video signals from the AVR-988 to a monitor.

The AVR-988’s video input/output circuitry is compatible with the following four types of video signals: Digital video signals: HDMI

Analog video signals: Component video, S-Video and Video

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-988 can be checked at menu “Information” – “HDMI Information” (vpage 42).

NOTE

HDMI signals cannot be converted into analog signals.

1080p component input video signals cannot be output to anything other than component video connectors.

480p/576p, 1080i and 720p component video input signals cannot be converted into S-Video or Video format.

When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some other source is input, the video conversion function might not operate.

On-Screen Display for Component Video Outputs and HDMI Output

When viewing HDMI or component video signals via the AVR-988, the on-screen display appears when the MENU button is operated.

When only HDMI or component video signals are input to the AVR-988, the characters of the on-screen display are not displayed over the picture.
