NOTE:
• Do not plug in the Power supply cord until all connections have been completed.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).
• Note that binding pin-plug cables together with Power supply cords or placing them near a power
transformer will result in generating hum or other noise.

NOTE:
• Connecting a LD (laser disc) player with a Dolby Digital RF Output.
The AVC-A11XV does not have a DD RF demodulator function. Therefore, you need to use a commercially
available outboard DD RF demodulator and connect its digital output to one of the AVC-A11XV available
digital inputs. Refer to the demodulator's owner's manual for further information.

The video conversion function

The AVC-A11XV is equipped with a function for up and
down converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVC-A11XV's MONITOR OUT
terminal can be connected to the monitor (TV) with a
set of cables offering a higher quality connection,
regardless of how the player and the AVC-A11XV's
video input terminals are connected.
Generally speaking, analog video connections using
the component video terminals offer the highest
quality playback, followed by connections using the S-
Video terminals, then connections using the regular
video terminals (yellow).

NOTE:
• It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI and
DVI-D input signals to the component, S-Video or
composite video monitor output terminals.
• Video down conversion to the MAIN ZONE's
monitor output is only possible when the
component video input resolution is 480i
(interlaced standard definition video – NTSC
format, for North America) or 576i (interlaced
standard definition video – PAL format, for Europe
and other countries).
• To change the setting of the video conversion

2 The analog video to HDMI
conversion function:
• The AVC-A11XV's video up-conversion function lets
you output analog video input signals (component –
480i/576i, 480p/576p, 1080i or 720p; S-Video and
composite video - 480i/576i) to the HDMI monitor
output terminal with the original resolution.
• The on screen display signals are output from the
HDMI monitor output terminal with a resolution of
480i/576i. Because of this, if the monitor equipped
with HDMI terminal is compatible with the 480i/576i
resolution, all the signals the AVC-A11XV handles
can be output to the monitor with a single HDMI
cable. The resolutions with which the monitor is
compatible can be checked using the STATUS button
on the main unit or the ON SCREEN button on the
(HDMI
remote control unit.
terminal)
• If the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is not
compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, connect
the player and the AVC-A11XV using a component
cable and set the player's resolution to one which
the monitor can handle.
• If you do not want to use the function for converting
analog video signals to HDMI signals, select "OFF"
for "Analog to HDMI Convert" at "Setting the HDMI
terminals
Out Setup"( page 46).
In this case, the function for video up conversion to
the component video terminal operates.
