When video sources are connected to the TV

nals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed
to the TV. These specific signals are: With all

video decoder of the TV on or off, depending on
the DVD player´s setting. With any adapter cable,
these control signals will be lost and the appro-
priate setting of the TV must be made manually.
Note for RGB signal with SCART:
If you use a unit providing RGB signals on a
SCART output (as e.g. most DVD players do) and
you want to use that RGB signal, this SCART

output must be connected directly to your TV.

Although the AVR 5500 RDS can switch three-
way video signals (like component signals

for RGB (also with SCART) that cannot be
switched and provided by the AVR 5500.
