Cross Media Bar Inspired Graphic User Interface

An on

-screen menu system that simplifies the most complex operations of an
A/V receiver for home theater applications. This advanced menu system incorporates icons, an easy to follow "tree" system and a
blending technique so users know exactly where they are amongst the various settings while still watching their main video source (up
to 1080i). Enhancements made to this year's menu include access to DIGITAL MEDIA PORT accessories, the ability to assign HDMI inputs
and independent A/V sync control for each input. It's simple. Just pick up the remote and whole new experience will be revealed.

HDMI Up Scaling Video sources connected via composite, S-video and component cables can not only be up converted to a

HDMI™ video output but can also be up scaled from its native signal to 1080p (i.e. 480i to 1080p) thus minimizing the number of
connections needed from the receiver to the television display. HDMI supports resolutions up to 1080p and enables both HD video and
uncompressed streaming audio to be transmitted through a single cable.

Down Conversion

Component and S-video sources can be down converted to lower resolution outputs, thus customizing video

connectivity to home theater requirements from a single source. Also, both receivers can take HD sources from component video and
down convert the signal for use with composite or S-Video ouputs. This is ideal for distributing video through multiple rooms with less
wires.

Picture-in-Picture for Monitoring Multi-Zone Output or External Video Source

capabilities in the ES 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver; another benefit of the Faroudja® DCDi CINEMA chipset. With an additional video
input, a customer can connect a baby monitor or security camera and monitor room activity or view a 2nd video source while still
watching their main video source.

2nd Room HD via Component Video Enjoy the convenience and flexibility of distributing high definition content to another room

in your home. Ideal for rooms where full size components can not be accommodated. In addition, enjoy your favorite HD programs
and movies in another room of your home.
