15Connecting Other Sources Connecting Other SourcesThe AVR-3806 is equipped with a function for up and downconverting video signals.Because of this, the AVR-3806’s MONITOR OUT terminal can beconnected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering ahigher quality connection, regardless of how the player and theAVR-3806’s video input terminals are connected.Generally speaking, analog video connections using thecomponent video terminals offer the highest quality playback,followed by connections using the S-Video terminals, thenconnections using the regular video terminals (yellow).The flow of the video signals.This unit’s inputterminalsThis unit’s outputterminals: only MAIN ZONE 480i/576i(Component Videoterminals)(Component Videoterminals)(S-Video terminal)(Video terminal)The video conversion functionOn screen display for component video outputs and HDMI output(HDMI terminal) (HDMIterminal)(S-Video terminal)(Video terminal)NOTE:• It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI input signalsto the component, S-Video or composite video monitoroutput terminals.• Video down conversion to the MAIN ZONE’s monitor outputis only possible when the component video input resolutionis 480i (interlaced standard definition video – NTSC format,for North America) or 576i (interlaced standard definitionvideo – PAL format, for Europe and other countries).• To set the video conversion function for the MAIN ZONE to“OFF” ( page 67).2 The analog video to HDMI conversion function:• The AVR-3806’s video up-conversion function lets you outputanalog video input signals (component – 480i/576i, 480p/576p,1080i or 720p; S-Video and composite video - 480i/576i) to theHDMI monitor output terminal with the original resolution.• The on screen display signals are output from the HDMImonitor output terminal with a resolution of 480i/576i. Becauseof this, if the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal iscompatible with the 480i/576i resolution, all the signals theAVR-3806 handles can be output to the monitor with a singleHDMI cable. The resolutions with which the monitor iscompatible can be checked using the STATUS button on themain unit or the ON SCREEN button on the remote control unit.• If the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is not compatiblewith the 480i/576i resolution, connect the player and the AVR-3806 using a component cable and set the player’s resolutionto one which the monitor can handle.• If you do not want to use the function for converting analogvideo signals to HDMI signals, select “OFF” for “Analog toHDMI Convert” at “Setting the HDMI Out Setup”( page67).In this case, the function for video up conversion to thecomponent video terminal operates.• When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via the AVR-3806, the on screen display is displayed on the monitor whenthe “System Setup” operations are performed and when the remote control unit’s ON SCREEN button is operated.• To view the on screen display using an HDMI monitor, set “Analog to HDMI Convert” at “HDMI Out Setup” to “ON” (default).• When only component video signals are input to the AVR-3806, the characters of the on screen display are not displayed over thepicture.
