• This function automatically converts various formats of video signals input to the AVR-1908 into theformat used to output the video signals from the AVR-1908 to a monitor.• The AVR-1908’s video input/output circuitry is compatible with the following four types of video signals:Digital video signals: HDMIAnalog video signals: Component video, S-Video and Video• The AVR-1908’s video up-conversion function lets you output analog video input signals (component– 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 1080i or 720p; S-Video and composite video - 480i/576i) to the HDMI monitoroutput connector with the original resolution.• The on-screen display signals are output from the HDMI monitor output connector with a resolution of480i/576i. Because of this, if the monitor equipped with HDMI connector is compatible with the 480i/576iresolution, all the signals the AVR-1908 handles can be output to the monitor with a single HDMI cable.Video Conversion FunctionGFlow of video signals inside the AVR-1908HHigh picturequality playback HDMI connectorComponent videoconnectorsS-Video connectorVideo connectorMonitorHDMI connectorComponent videoconnectorsS-Video connectorVideo connectorVideo inputs Video outputsNOTE• HDMI signals cannot be converted into analog signals.• When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some other source is input, the videoconversion function might not operate.• When not using this function, connect a monitor output with the same type of connector as the videoinput connector.• The resolution of the HDMI input-compatible monitor connected to the AVR-1908 can be checked atmenu “Information” – “HDMI Information” (vpage 39).• If the monitor equipped with HDMI connector is not compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, connectthe player and the AVR-1908 using a component cable and set the player’s resolution to one which themonitor can handle.• When viewing HDMI signals via the AVR-1908, the on-screen display appears when the MENU button orthe remote control unit’s DISPLAY button is operated, if your monitor is compatible with a resolution of480i.• When only HDMI signals are input to the AVR-1908, the characters of the on-screen display are notdisplayed over the picture.• The on-screen display signals are not outputted from the COMPONENT MONITOR OUT.On-Screen Display for Component Video Outputs and HDMIOutputGetting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Amp Assign Information Troubleshooting
