About video signal conversion
This receiver can convert video signals. See the table below about
video signal conversion.
To convert composite video and S-video signal into component
video signal, set the “DVD VIDEO IN,” “VCR VIDEO IN,” or “DBS
VIDEO IN” to “<S/C>” (see page 25).
• If using composite video cable for connecting to the video input
and using S-video cable for connecting to the video output, the
video signal is converted into S-video signal automatically. The
signal is emitted through the S-video output jacks of MONITOR
OUT, VCR OUT (REC), and DVR OUT (REC).
• Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this
happens, connect the playback source component and TV using
the cords of the same type.
• Incoming signal of component can be emitted only through the
component output jacks.

This receiver is equipped with three DIGITAL IN terminals—one
digital coaxial terminal and two digital optical terminals.
To reproduce the digital sound, use the digital connection in
addition to the analog connection methods described on pages 7
