For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-3803’s S-Video andvideo monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-3803 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connectedto both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect acord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack.
