The video conversion function • The AVR-4806 is equipped with a function for up and down converting video signals. Because of this, the AVR-4806's MONITOR OUT terminal can be connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a higher quality connection, regardless of how the player and the AVR-4806's video input terminals are connected. Generally speaking, analog video connections using the component video terminals offer the highest quality playback, followed by connections using the S-Video terminals, then connections using the regular video terminals (yellow). The flow of the video signals. Connecting Other Souces 2 The analog video to HDMI conversion function: • The AVR-4806's video up-conversion function lets you output analog video input signals (component - 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 1080i or 720p; S-Video and composite video 480i/576i) to the HDMI monitor output terminal with the original resolution. • The on screen display signals are output from the HDMI monitor output terminal with a resolution of 480i/576i. Because of this, if the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, all the signals the AVR-4806 handles can be output to the monitor with a single HDMI cable. The resolutions with which the monitor is compatible can be checked using the STATUS button on the main unit or the ON SCREEN button on the remote control unit. (HDMI / DVI-D terminals) (Component video terminals) (S-Video terminal) (HDMI terminal) (Component video terminals) (S-Video terminal) • If the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is not compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, connect the player and the AVR-4806 using a component cable and set the player's resolution to one which the monitor can handle. • If you do not want to use the function for converting analog video signals to HDMI signals, select "OFF" for "Analog to HDMI Convert" at "Setting the HDMI Out Setup" ( page 98, 99). In this case, the function for video up conversion to the component video terminal operates.

On screen display for component video outputs and HDMI output • When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via the AVR-4806, the on screen display is displayed on the monitor when the "System Setup" operations are performed and when the remote control unit's ON SCREEN button is operated. • To view the on-screen display using an HDMI monitor, set "Analog to HDMI Convert" at "HDMI Out Setup" to "ON" (default). • When only component video signals are input to the AVR4806 or when "Component" is selected at the "Setting the Video Convert Mode", the characters of the on screen display are not displayed over the picture. 27

The video conversion function
NOTE:
• It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI and DVI-D
input signals to the component, S-Video or composite
video monitor output terminals.
• Video down conversion to the MAIN ZONE’s monitor
output is only possible when the component video input
resolution is 480i (interlaced standard definition video –
NTSC format, for North America) or 576i (interlaced
standard definition video – PAL format, for Europe and
other countries).
• To change the setting of the video conversion mode for
the MAIN ZONE (
page 97, 98).
On screen display for component video
outputs and HDMI output
When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via
the AVR-4806, the on screen display is displayed on the
monitor when the “System Setup” operations are performed
and when the remote control unit’s
ON SCREEN
button is
operated.
• To view the on-screen display using an HDMI monitor, set
“Analog to HDMI Convert” at “HDMI Out Setup” to “ON”
(default).
• When only component video signals are input to the AVR-
4806 or when “Component” is selected at the “Setting the
Video Convert Mode”, the characters of the on screen
display are not displayed over the picture.

The analog video to HDMI conversion function:
• The AVR-4806’s video up-conversion function lets you
output analog video input signals (component – 480i/576i,
480p/576p, 1080i or 720p; S-Video and composite video -
480i/576i) to the HDMI monitor output terminal with the
original resolution.
• The on screen display signals are output from the HDMI
monitor output terminal with a resolution of 480i/576i.
Because of this, if the monitor equipped with HDMI
terminal is compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, all the
signals the AVR-4806 handles can be output to the monitor
with a single HDMI cable. The resolutions with which the
monitor is compatible can be checked using the
STATUS
button on the main unit or the
ON SCREEN
button on the
remote control unit.
• If the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is not
compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, connect the player
and the AVR-4806 using a component cable and set the
player’s resolution to one which the monitor can handle.
If you do not want to use the function for converting analog
video signals to HDMI signals, select “OFF” for “Analog to
HDMI Convert” at “Setting the HDMI Out Setup” (
page 98, 99).
In this case, the function for video up conversion to the
component video terminal operates.
