Analog Only: Any analog signal (component video, composite video, and the
front panel S-video) is up-converted and/or down-converted so that it is available
at all analog video outputs. Analog video inputs are not output via HDMI.
Off: No video conversion takes place. Composite video inputs are available at the
composite video outputs only, and component video inputs are available at the
component video output only.
Select inputs in the
Video Convert
sub-menu using the
▲
and
▼
buttons, and select the
desired option for each input using the
◄
and
►
buttons. When all inputs are set
properly, select “Return” and press “ENTER” on the remote to return to the
Video Setup
menu. For most cases, the default setting “Analog&HDMI” will be appropriate.
The second option in the
Video Setup
menu is OSD Information. When OSD
Information is enabled, the SR5004 can display status information such as volume and
input on-screen. OSD information is only available for composite video and S-video
inputs, as it is not overlayed onto component video or HDMI inputs. You may use the
◄
and
►
buttons to change between “Enable” and “Disable” for this menu item.
HDMI Output Resolution defines the resolution of the video signal provided by the
SR5004’s HDMI output. The available options are listed and described below. Please
note that this setting only affects analog video inputs (composite video and component
video). HDMI video inputs are passed through to the HDMI output without processing.
Auto: The SR5004 will select an output resolution based on information provided
by your HDTV over the HDMI connection.
Through: The SR5004 will apply no video processing to incoming signals. Analog
video signals will be converted to 480i/576i digital and may or may not be
deinterlaced to 480p/576p.
480p/576p: All analog video inputs will be output as either 480p (for NTSC
systems) or 576p (for PAL systems). NTSC is the standard for televisions in
North America.
720p: All analog video inputs will be converted to 720p.
1080i: All analog video inputs will be converted to 1080i.
1080p: All analog video inputs will be converted to 1080p.
The preferred HDMI Output Resolution setting will be the setting closest to the HDTV’s
native resolution (such as 720p for 1366x768 displays, 1080i for most CRT HDTV’s,
and 1080i or 1080p for 1920x1080 displays). If you are unsure of the best resolution for
your TV, you can use the “Auto” setting and allow the SR5004 to request a preferred
resolution from your TV. If you are using sources that already have excellent video
processing, or if you have an HDTV or an external video processor connected to the
SR5004’s HDMI output, you can use the “Through” setting to avoid applying extra video
processing in the SR5004.
The last setting in the
Video Setup
menu is Component I/P Convert. By default, this
setting is disabled. If enabled, any composite video, S-video, or standard definition
