information on the video display. The input
name will also appear in the display, on the
front-panel.
• As the input is changed, the SR7500 will
automatically switch to the digital input,
surround mode, attenuation, and night mode
s t a t u s w h i c h w e r e e n t e r e d d u r i n g t h e
configuration process for that source.
• When an audio source is selected, the last video
input used remains routed to the VCR1 & DSS/
VCR2 Outputs and Monitor Output. This
permits simultaneous viewing and listening to
different sources.
• When a Video source is selected, the video
signal for that input will be routed to the Monitor
Output jacks and will be viewable on a TV
monitor connected to the SR7500.
If a component video input is connected to the
DVD or DSS component inputs, it will be routed
to the Component Video Output. Make certain
that your TV is set to the proper input to view the
signal.
DVI-D INPUT (SR8500 only)
When DVI-D is set as the input source, monitor
output is DVI-D as well.

VIDEO CONVERT

When this function is activated, the video or
S-video signal can be emitted from the video, S-
video or component video output terminal.
To activate this function, select VIDEO CONVERT
in PREFERENCE menu and set ENABLE.
Notes:
• The component video signal is emitted only from
component video output terminal.
When the video equipment is connected by
component terminal, connect the monitor and
SR7500 by the component terminal.
• This function is unavailable for the REC out
terminal.
• This function is unavailable for the still picture, fast
forward and reverse playing of the video component.
• If, while attempting to use the video convert
feature, the SR7500 cannot synchronize with the
display device, "NO SIGNAL" appears on the
monitor, or noise is generated, this feature cannot
be used. All of these signs are caused by
equipment incompatibility; there is nothing
wrong with the SR7500.
In such case, set VIDEO CONVERT in the
PREFERENCE menu to DISABLE. Also, connect
the video input signal to the display device via the
MONITOR OUT terminal under VIDEO and the
S-video input signal to the display device via the
MONITOR OUT terminal under S-VIDEO.
