NOTE
• HDMI signals cannot be converted into analog signals.
• 1080p component input video 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.
• 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-789 can be checked at menu
“Information” – “HDMI Information” (vpage 49).
• When viewing HDMI or component video signals via the AVR-789, the on-screen display appears when
the MENU button on the main unit or the A.MENU button on the remote control unit is operated.
• When only HDMI or component video signals are input to the AVR-789, the characters of the on-screen
display are not displayed over the picture.
