Function for conversion of video signals
The receiver is equipped with a function for converting video signals. Video signals and component video signals can be
output as HDMI video signals (*1).
The correspondence of the INPUT jacks to the OUTPUT jacks is shown below.
HDMI IN: HDMI OUT
COMPONENT VIDEO IN (for STR- DN1050 only): HDMI OUT (*1), COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT (*2)
VIDEO IN : HDMI OUT (*1), MONITOR OUT (*2)
*1
For STR- DN1050 only. Video signals are upconverted when output (up to 4K).
*2
The same type of signal as the input signal is output.
Note
When video signals from a VCR, etc., are upconverted on this receiver and then viewed on your TV, the image on the
TV screen may appear distorted horizontally or no image may be seen depending on the status of the video signal
output.
If you are using image improvement circuitry with your VCR, it may impact the video signal conversion. It is
recommended that you turn off this function on your VCR.
Converted HDMI image output does not support “x.v.Color (x.v.Colour),” Deep Color (Deep Colour), or 3D.
HDMI video signals cannot be converted to component video signals or video signals.
1080p component video signals cannot be upconverted.
When [4K Scaling] is set to [Auto], if the HDMI input signals are 1080p@23.98/24 Hz and a 4K-compatible TV is
connected, the HDMI input signals are automatically upscaled to 4K images and output from the HDMI OUT jack.

Notes on connecting cables
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) before connecting cables.
It is not necessary to connect all of the cables. Connect cables according to the availability of jacks on the connected
device.
Use a High Speed HDMI cable. 1080p, Deep Color (Deep Colour), 4K or 3D images may not be displayed properly if
you use a Standard HDMI cable.
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVID device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect separate audio cables or digital connecting cables, then
reassign the input jacks if the sound is not output correctly. For details, see “Using other video/audio input jacks (Input
Assign).”
When connecting optical digital cables, insert the plugs straight until they click into place.
Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.
Hint
All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.
If you want to connect several digital devices, but cannot find an unused input
See “Using other video/audio input jacks (Input Assign).”

The receiver can receive Multi Channel Linear PCM (up to 8 channels) with a sampling frequency of 192 kHz or less
via an HDMI connection.
Analog video signals input to the receiver’s VIDEO jack or COMPONENT VIDEO jacks can be output as HDMI signals
(for STR-DN1050 only). Audio signals are not output from the HDMI OUT jack(s) while the image is being converted.
This receiver supports High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), Deep Color (Deep Colour),
“x.v.Color (x.v.Colour),” and 4K or 3D transmission.
To enjoy 3D images, connect a 3D-compatible TV and video device (Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-ray Disc recorder,
PlayStation 3, etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI cables, put on 3D glasses, and then play 3D -compatible
content.
To enjoy 4K (HDMI BD/DVD, GAME, SAT/CATV, VIDEO1) images, connect a 4K-compatible TV or video device (Bluray Disc player, etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI cables, and then play 4K-compatible content (for STRDN1050 only).
Note
Depending on the TV or video device, 4K or 3D images may not be displayed. Check the HDMI video formats
