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

If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Setup menu on page 39), the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).
