A video signal input to this unit is output from the output terminals in MONITOR OUT for the same kind of signal as the input signal.
For example, if a VCR with a composite output signal and a DVD player with a COMPONENT VIDEO output signal are connected, connect both VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO jack in MONITOR OUT to the video monitor.
If an HDMI input compatible monitor is connected, this unit automatically converts an analog signal that is input from a video input terminal to a digital video signal, and then output it from the HDMI OUT jack.
