Important Note Regarding Video Playback

The AV receiver can upconvert component video and composite video sources for display on a TV connected to the HDMI output(s). However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the picture worse or disappear altogether.

In this case, try the following:

If the video source is connected to a component video input, connect your TV to COMPONENT

VIDEO OUT.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to MONITOR OUT V.

On the main menu, select “Input/Output Assign”, and then select “Component Video Input”

(➔ page 53).

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN1”.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “- - - - -”.
