When making cable connections
• To avoid hum, do not lay connected cables over the
top of the receiver.
• When connecting optical cables, be careful when
inserting the plug not to damage the shutter
protecting the optical socket.
• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable
may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
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 and high-definition
component video: since these resolutions cannot be
downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the
receiver’s HDMI/component video outputs when
connecting these video sources.

If several video components are assigned to the same
input function (see
The Input Setup menu
on page 56),
the converter gives priority to component, S-video, then
composite (in that order).
• For optimal video performance, THX recommends
switching Digital Video Conversion (in
Setting the AV
options
on page 58)
OFF
.
Note
1 If the video signal does not appear on your TV or plasma display, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some
components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, use an (analog) S-video or composite connection.
