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:
since this resolution cannot be downsampled,
you must connect your monitor/TV to the
receiver’s HDMI output when connecting this
video source.
If several video components are assigned to the
same input function (see
The Input Setup menu
on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM), the
converter gives priority to HDMI, component,
then composite (in that order).
