•When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the VCR1 & DSS/ VCR2 Outputs and Monitor Output. This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to different sources.

•When a Video source is selected, the video signal for that input will be routed to the Monitor Output jacks and will be viewable on a TV monitor connected to the SR7500.

If a component video input is connected to the DVD or DSS component inputs, it will be routed to the Component Video Output. Make certain that your TV is set to the proper input to view the signal.

DVI-D INPUT (SR8500 only)

When DVI-D is set as the input source, monitor output is DVI-D as well.

• This function is unavailable for the REC out

terminal.

• This function is unavailable for the still picture, fast

forward and reverse playing of the video component.

• If, while attempting to use the video convert

feature, the SR7500 cannot synchronize with the

display device, “NO SIGNAL” appears on the

monitor, or noise is generated, this feature cannot

be used. All of these signs are caused by

equipment incompatibility; there is nothing

wrong with the SR7500.

PREFERENCE menu to DISABLE. Also, connect

the video input signal to the display device via the

MONITOR OUT terminal under VIDEO and the
