About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is HDMI: since this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI video outputs when connecting this video source.1

Note

1• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some

components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the Video options on page 78) OFF.

•The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signals cannot be converted.

•Only signals with an input resolution of 480i/576i can be converted from the component video input for the composite MONITOR OUT
