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 page 28 ), the converter gives priority
to HDMI, component, then composite (in that
order).
