About video signal conversion
This receiver can convert video signals. See the table below about
video signal conversion.
Video Input Converted Video Output
Component
S-video
Video (composite)
To convert composite video and S-video signal into component
video signal, set the “DVD VIDEO IN,” “VCR VIDEO IN,” or “DBS
VIDEO IN” to “<S/C>” (see page 25).
• If using composite video cable for connecting to the video input
and using S-video cable for connecting to the video output, the
video signal is converted into S-video signal automatically. The
signal is emitted through the S-video output jacks of MONITOR
OUT, VCR OUT (REC), and DVR OUT (REC).
• Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this
happens, connect the playback source component and TV using
the cords of the same type.
• Incoming signal of component can be emitted only through the
component output jacks.
