VIDEO CONVERT
ANALOG VIDEO CONVERSION
This unit is equipped to convert video signals
for monitor output. Because of this, indifferent of
the connection (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPONENT
VIDEO) between the playback device and this unit,
listening and viewing are possible with a single
higher grade cable between the MONITOR OUT
terminal of the unit and the monitor.
UP-CONVERSION FROM ANALOG VIDEO
SIGNALS TO HDMI
The up-conversion feature of this unit can output
the input analog video signals (for component video
signals of 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 1080i and 720p
resolution, and S-Video and Video (composite)
of 480i/576i resolution) to the HDMI MONITOR
terminal.

MONITOR OUT terminal of the unit. If connecting
a playback device such as a DVD player to the
HDMI input jack, connect the HDMI MONITOR
OUT terminal of the unit to a TV monitor.

forward and reverse play on video component.
• If, while attempting to use the video convert feature,
the unit cannot synchronize with the display device,
“NO SIGNAL” appears on the monitor or noise is
generated, this feature cannot be used. All of these
signs are caused by equipment incompatibility; there
is nothing wrong with the unit.
If this occurs, set “VIDEO CONVERT” in the
“VIDEO SETUP” menu to “DISABLE”. Next,
connect the video input signal to the display component
via the MONITOR OUT terminal under VIDEO and
the S-video input signal to the display component via
the MONITOR OUT terminal under S-VIDEO.

input video signals and determines whether to
