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.
2
If several video components are assigned to the same
input function (see
The Input Setup menu
on page 66),
the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, S-video,
then composite (in that order).
• For optimal video performance, THX recommends
switching Digital Video Conversion (in
Setting the
Video options
on page 71)
OFF
.
Note
1 You must assign the input source to the S-video input to which you’ve connected your video component (see
The Input Setup menu
on page 66).
2 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, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in
Setting the Video
options
on page 71)
OFF
