Converting input video signals for output (Video conversion function)
This unit is equipped with three types of video input connectors (HDMI, Component video and video) and two types of video output connectors
(HDMI and video).
This function automatically converts various formats of video signals input to this unit into the formats used to output the video signals from
this unit to a monitor.

For example, if you connect this unit to an HDMI-compatible TV with a single HDMI cable, this unit automatically converts input signals other
than HDMI video signals to HDMI signals to output from the HDMI connector to the TV. This unit outputs only one type of video signals, so
video signals output from this unit to the TV remain unchanged even if you switch to a device that outputs another type of video signals for
playback. Therefore, you do not need to switch the video input on the TV. Furthermore, this unit converts the input analog video signals such as
video and component video signals to high resolution digital HDMI video signals for output, improving the quality of the video.
If your TV does not support HDMI connections, connect this unit to TV with analog video connectors. This unit can not convert HDMI input
signals to analog video signals, so when inputting from an HDMI device, use component video or video input connectors.

via HDMI. If your TV is connected to this unit via other video
output connectors, perform menu operations while seeing the
display on this unit.
• HDMI signals are digital. HDMI signals cannot be converted into
analog signals.
• When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some
other source is input, the video conversion function might not
operate.
