composite video signals. S video signals
cannot be converted to composite video
signals. HDMI video signals cannot be
converted to component video signals,
S video signals, and video signals.
• When video or S video signals from a VCR,
etc., are converted on this receiver and then
output to your TV, depending on the status of
the video signal output, the image on the TV
screen may appear distorted horizontally or
no image may be output.

from the MONITOR OUT jacks. They are
not output from VIDEO OUT jacks or
S VIDEO OUT jacks.
• When you play a VCR with an image

Closed Caption display
When the receiver receives video output
signals that are up-converted but the
accompanying closed caption cannot be
displayed, down-convert the video output
signals to the original video signals, and
connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT jack
that outputs the original video signals.
To connect a recording
component
When recording, connect the recording
component to the VIDEO OUT jacks or S
VIDEO OUT jacks of the receiver. Connect
cords for input and output signals to the same
type of jack, as VIDEO OUT jacks and S
VIDEO OUT jacks do not have an up-
conversion function.
Note
Signals output from the MONITOR OUT jacks may
not be recorded properly.
