Video Conversion Function

• This function automatically converts various formats of video signals input to the AVR-2809CI into the
format used to output the video signals from the AVR-2809CI to a monitor.
• The AVR-2809CI's video input/output circuitry is compatible with the following four types of video signals:
Digital video signals: HDMI
Analog video signals: Component video, S-Video and Video

• When not using this function, connect a monitor output with the same type of connector as the video
input connector.
• The resolution of the HDMI input-compatible monitor connected to the AVR-2809CI can be checked at
menu "Information" – "HDMI Information" (vpage 49).
NOTE
• HDMI signals cannot be converted into analog signals.
• 1080p component video input signals cannot be output to anything other than component video
connectors.
• 480p/576p, 1080i and 720p component video input signals cannot be converted into S-Video or Video
format.
• When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some other source is input, the video
conversion function might not operate.
