About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through the HDMI OUT terminal.
If the TV is only connected to the receiver’s composite VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks, all the other video devices
must be connected through composite connections.
If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Setup menu on page 47), the
converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).

Note
! The only exception is HDMI: since this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV
to the receiver’s HDMI output when connecting this video source.
! If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or dis-
play. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In
this case, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the Video options on page 76) OFF.
! The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are
480i/576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signals cannot be converted.
! For optimal video performance, THX recommends switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the Video
options on page 76) OFF.
