Notes on converting video
signals
• When 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.
• HDMI video signals cannot be converted to
component video signals and video signals.
• The converted video signals are not output
from the VIDEO OUT jack.
• When you play a VCR with an image
improvement circuit, such as TBC, the
images may be distorted or may not be
output. In this case, set the image
improvement circuit function to off.
• The resolution of the signals output to the
COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks is converted up to 1080i. The
resolution of the signals output to the HDMI
OUT jacks are converted up to 1080p.
• COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks have restrictions on resolution when
the resolution of video signals protected by
copyright technology is converted.
Resolution of up to 480p can be output to the
COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks. The HDMI OUT jacks have no
restriction on resolution.
• Video signals for which the resolution has
been converted cannot be output from either
the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR
OUT jacks or the HDMI OUT jacks. The
video signals are output from the HDMI
OUT jacks when both are connected.
• Set "Resolution" to "AUTO" or "480i/576i"
in the Video settings menu to output the
video signals from the MONITOR VIDEO
OUT, COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR
OUT jacks when both are connected.
To display Closed Caption
Set "Resolution" to "DIRECT" in the Video
settings menu when receiving a signal that
supports Closed Captions.
Use the same kind of cords for the input/output
signals.
To connect a recording
component
When recording, connect the recording
component to the VIDEO OUT jacks of the
receiver. Connect cords for input and output
signals to the same type of jack, as VIDEO
OUT jacks do not have an up-conversion
function.
Note
Signals output from the HDMI OUT or MONITOR
OUT jacks may not be recorded properly.
