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 output when connecting this video source. If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Setup menu on page 25 ), the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order). Sound signal priority High picture quality Terminal for connection with source device Terminal for connection with TV monitor HDMI IN HDMI OUT Y PB PR COMPONENT VIDEO IN Y PB PR COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT VIDEO IN VIDEO MONITOR OUT Video signals can be output Note ! 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 48 ) 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. !
