converts S-Video signals to composite video signals and outputs them from the MONITOR OUTs. Because of this, one of

• In such a case of making only COMPONENT VIDEO connections between this receiver and video component, while viewing a
movie via MONITOR COMPONENT OUTs, if the OSD menu operation is performed with the OSD, CURSOR control(▲, ▼,
◀, ▶), ENTER buttons, etc., the picture is automatically turned off and only the OSD menu is displayed.
• When S-Video signals and composite video signals are input into this receiver, even though the OSD menu operation is
performed, the OSD menu cannot be displayed via MONITOR COMPOSITE OUT.
• When Sherwood DVD player such as V-768, etc. is connected to the DIGI-LINK jack for system control, you should connect
the DVD player to the " VIDEO 2" jacks of this unit.
Because, if the PLAY button, etc. is pressed on the DVD player, the VIDEO 2 is automatically selected as an input source on
this unit. Then playback, etc. starts.
