:When 480i/576i signals are input

•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-989 can be checked at menu “Information” – “HDMI Information” (vpage 49).

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 input video 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-989, the on-screen display appears when the MENU button on the main unit or the A.MENU button on the main remote control unit is operated.

•When only HDMI or component video signals are input to the AVR-989, the characters of the on-screen display are not displayed over the picture.
