When Making Cable Connections; About The Video Converter - Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K 7 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting your equipment

When making cable connections

• To avoid hum, do not lay connected cables over the
top of the receiver.
• When connecting optical cables, be careful when
inserting the plug not to damage the shutter
protecting the optical socket.
• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable
may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
Note
1 • If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat panel 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 72) OFF.
• The ZONE 2 video input can also be converted. For details, see Setting the Video options on page 72.

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
1
video source.
If several video components are assigned to the same
input function (see The Input Setup menu on page 67),
the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then
composite (in that order).
