About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video
sources are output through all of the MONITOR
VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is HDMI:
since this resolution cannot be downsampled,
you must connect your monitor/TV to the
receiver's HDMI output when connecting this
video source.
If several video components are assigned to
the same input function (see The Input Setup
menu on page 25 ), the converter gives priority
to HDMI, component, then composite (in that
order).
