The video conversion function

The AVR-3806 is equipped with a function for up and down
converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-3806'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-3806'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).

On screen display for component video outputs and HDMI output

• When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via the AVR-3806, 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-3806, the characters of the on screen display are not displayed over the
picture.
NOTE:
• It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI 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).

• If the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is not compatible
with the 480i/576i resolution, connect the player and the AVR-
3806 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"(
