When making cable connections

• To avoid hum, do not lay connected cables over the

top of the receiver.

• When connecting optical cables, be careful when

inserting the plug not to damage the shutter
protecting the optical socket.

• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable

may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.

About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video sources are
output through all of the

MONITOR VIDEO OUT

jacks.

The only exception is HDMI and high-definition
component video: since these resolutions cannot be
downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the
receiver’s HDMI/component video outputs when

connecting these video sources.

2

If several video components are assigned to the same
input function (see

The Input Setup menu

on page 63),

the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, S-video,
then composite (in that order).

• For optimal video performance, THX recommends

switching Digital Video Conversion (in

Setting the AV

options

on page 66)

OFF

.

Note

1 You must assign the input source to the S-video input to which you’ve connected your video component (see

The Input Setup menu

on page 63).

2 If the video signal does not appear on your TV or plasma display, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. 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 AV

options

on page 66)

OFF
