The video conversion function
The AVC-A1XV is equipped with a function for up and down
converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVC-A1XV’s MONITOR OUT terminal can be
connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a higher
quality connection, regardless of how the player and the AVC-A1XV’s
video input terminals are connected.
Generally speaking, analog video connections using the component
video terminals offer the highest quality playback, followed by
connections using the S-Video terminals, then connections using the
regular video terminals (yellow).

• Down-converting from the component video signal to the S-Video
and composite video signal is possible only when the resolution of a
component video signal is 480i / 576i.
• When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some
other source is input, the video conversion function might not
operate. If this happens, please set the “Video Convert Mode” to
“OFF”.
• When the video conversion function has been used, information
such as that of text broadcasts which has been added to the video
signal might not be output. If this happens, please set the “Video

¢ Cautions on the ZONE2 video conversion
function
There is no TBC (Time Base Collector) for ZONE2.
When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVCA1XV with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video (yellow) or
S-Video terminals are used to connect the AVC-A1XV with a VCR,
depending on the combination of the TV and VCR the picture may
flicker in the horizontal direction, be distorted, be out of sync or not
display at all when playing video tapes.
If this happens, connect a commercially available video stabilizer, etc.,
with a TBC (time base corrector) function between the AVC-A1XV and
the VCR, or if your VCR has a TBC function, turn it on.

System SetupSystem Setup
Relationship between the video input signal and monitor output according to the video convert mode
• It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI and DVI-D input
signals to the component, S-Video or composite video monitor
output terminals.
•Video down conversion to the MAIN ZONE’s monitor output is only
possible when the component video input resolution is 480i
(interlaced standard definition video – NTSC format, for North
America) or 576i (interlaced standard definition video – PAL format,
for Europe and other countries).
• Set the resolution of the video output to one that is compatible with
the resolution of your monitor.
• When “Component” is set at “Scaler” under “HDMI/Component
Out”, the signals are output to the HDMI/DVI-D monitor output
terminal with their original resolution. Use a monitor compatible with
a resolution of 480i/576i.
¢ The analog video to HDMI conversion function
• The AVC-A1XV’s video up-conversion function lets you output
analog video input signals (component – 480i/576i, 480p/576p,
1080i or 720p; S-Video and composite video - 480i/576i) to the
HDMI monitor output terminal.
•With the AVC-A1XV, the resolution of the signal output to the
HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal can be selected (page 6). The
resolutions with which the monitor is compatible can be checked
using <STATUS>or [ON SCREEN].
• If you do not want to use the function for converting analog video
signals to HDMI signals, select “OFF” for “Analog to HDMI
Convert” at “Setting the HDMI/Component Out” (page 6).
In this case, the function for video up conversion to the component
video terminal operates.

Network Audio Function
The AVC-A1XV can be connected to a network by cable to listen to Internet radio or music files stored on computers.
Internet radio function
Internet radio refers to radio programs broadcast over the Internet.
There are many stations throughout the world broadcasting Internet
radio programs. These stations are of all sizes and types, some run by
individuals, others by ground wave broadcast stations.
While ground wave radio stations can only be listened to within the
range in which the waves reach, Internet radio can be listened to
anywhere in the world.
The AVC-A1XV is equipped with the following Internet radio functions:
• Stations can be selected by genre and region.
• Up to 56 Internet radio stations can be preset.
• MP3 format Internet radio programs can be listened to.
•Your favorite radio stations can be registered by accessing the
exclusive DENON Internet radio URL using a computer’s browser.
(The AV amplifier automatically downloads the registration settings
(approximately once every other day).) (This is managed separately
for each unit, so a MAC address or e-mail address must be
registered.)
Exclusive URL : http://www.radiodenon.com (accessible after
connection to an Internet radio station.)
vTuner
The AVC-A1XV’s Internet radio station list uses “vTuner”, a radio
station database service. This database service is edited and prepared
for the AVC-A1XV.
Music server function
The AVC-A1XV is equipped with a network audio playback function
allowing music files stored on a computer to be played via a LAN
(Local Area Network).
The AVC-A1XV’s network audio playback function connects to servers
using the following technologies:
•Windows Media Connect
• The Designed to DLNA Guideline
•Windows Media DRM 10 (for network devices)
System requirements
The preparations described below must be made in order to use the
Internet radio and music server functions.
Broadband Internet connection
A broadband connection to the Internet is necessary in order to use
the AVC-A1XV’s Internet radio function.
NOTE:
• You must have a contract with an Internet Service Provider
(ISP) in order to connect to the Internet. For instructions on
connecting to the Internet, contact your ISP or a computer store.
If you already have a broadband Internet connection there is no
need to take out another contract.

Network Audio FunctionNetwork Audio Function
Modem
A modem is a device for exchanging signals over the Internet using a
broadband connection. Some are integrated into routers. For
instructions on connecting to the Internet, contact your ISP or a
computer store.
Router
A router is a device for connecting multiple pieces of equipment
(computers, the AVC-A1XV, etc.) to the Internet simultaneously.
When using the AVC-A1XV, we recommend a router equipped with
the following functions:
• Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
Function for automatically assigning the device’s IP address on the
LAN.
• Built-in 100BASE-TX switch
When connecting multiple devices, it is recommended to have a
built-in switching hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.
Personal computer
Install “Windows Media Connect” on your computer.
The required system for forming a music server is as described below.
1) OS (Operating System):
Windows®XP Service pack2
2) Processor:
Intel PentiumII or AMD processor, etc..
We recommend 1 GHz or greater.
3) RAM:
Min. 128 MB, we recommend 256 MB or greater.
4) Software:
.NET Framework 1.1
5) Internet browser:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later
• LAN port required
• 300 MB or greater free hard disc space required
Extra free space is necessary to store music files.
The following table gives an approximate estimate of the required
free space.
Others
• When the contract with your provider is of the type by which the
network settings are made manually, you must make the “Setting
the Network Setup” (page 7, 8).
• The AVC-A1XV is not compatible with PPPoE. If your contract is of
the PPPoE setting type, you need a PPPoE-compatible router.
• For some ISPs (Internet Service Providers), you may have to make
proxy server settings in order to use the Internet radio function. If
proxy server settings for connecting to the Internet have been made
on the computer, make the same settings on the AVC-A1XV.
• The AVC-A1XV is designed to make the network settings
automatically using the DHCP and Auto IP functions.
NOTE:
• The type of router that can be used differs for different ISPs. For
details, contact your ISP or a computer store.
Ethernet cable (CAT-5)
The AVC-A1XV does not come with an Ethernet cable. Purchase one
of the required length.
Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise. We
recommend using a normal type cable.
If the sound is broken in an environment with the electric products
subject to much power noise or a noisy network environment, use a
shielded type Ethernet cable. This could improve the sound.
