Connecting Other Sources
• The AVR-5805CI is equipped with a function for up and down
converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-5805CI’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 AVR-5805CI’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).
The video conversion function
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).
• It is not possible to down-convert from the ZONE2’s
component video signal to a S-Video or composite signal,
so when not using the ZONE2’s component monitor
output terminal, use an S-Video connection cable or
composite connection cable to connect the AVR-5805CI
with the player.
•To set the video conversion function for the MAIN ZONE
to “OFF” ( page 112).
• Set the resolution of the video output to one that is
compatible with the resolution of your monitor.
• When “Component” is set at “Scaler” under
“HDMI/Component Out”, the signals are output to the
HDMI/DVI-D monitor output terminal with their original
resolution. Use a monitor compatible with a resolution of
480i/576i.
On screen display for component video
outputs and HDMI output
• When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via
the AVR-5805CI, the on screen display is displayed on the
monitor when the “System Setup” operations are
performed and when the remote control unit’s ON SCREEN
button is operated.
•To view the on screen display using an HDMI monitor, set
“Analog to HDMI Convert” at “HDMI/Component Out” to
“ON” (default).
• When only component video signals are input to the AVR-
5805CI, the characters of the on screen display are not
displayed over the picture.

The analog video to HDMI conversion function:
The AVR-5805CI’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 AVR-5805CI, the resolution of the signal output to
the HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal can be selected (
page 113, 114). 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 remote control unit.
• The resolution of the signal output to the component
monitor output terminal can be set on the AVR-5805CI.
• 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/Component Out
Setup”( page 113, 114).
In this case, the function for video up conversion to the
component video terminal operates.
Cautions on the ZONE2 video conversion function:
• There is no TBC (Time Base Collector) for ZONE2.
When the component video terminals are used to connect
the AVR-5805CI with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and
the video (yellow) or S-Video terminals are used to connect
the AVR-5805CI with a VCR, depending on the combination
of the TV and VCR the picture may flicker in the horizontal
direction, be distorted, be out of sync or not display at all
when playing video tapes.
If this happens, connect a commercially available video
stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function
between the AVR-5805CI and the VCR, or if your VCR has
a TBC function, turn it on.
