27Connecting Other Sources• The AVR-4806CI is equipped with a function for up and downconverting video signals.Because of this, the AVR-4806CI’s MONITOR OUT terminalcan be connected to the TV (monitor) with a set of cablesoffering a higher quality connection, regardless of how theplayer and the AVR-4806CI’s video input terminals areconnected.Generally speaking, analog video connections using thecomponent video terminals offer the highest qualityplayback, followed by connections using the S-Videoterminals, then connections using the regular videoterminals (yellow).The flow of the video signals.This unit’s input terminals This unit’s output terminals(Component videoterminals)(S-Video terminal)(Video terminal)(Component videoterminals)(S-Video terminal)(Video terminal)The video conversion functionNOTE:• It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI/DVI inputsignals to the component, S-Video or composite videomonitor output terminals.• Video down conversion to the MAIN ZONE’s monitoroutput is only possible when the component video inputresolution is 480i (interlaced standard definition video –NTSC format, for North America) or 576i (interlacedstandard definition video – PAL format, for Europe andother countries).• To set the video conversion function for the MAIN ZONEto “OFF” ( page 107).On screen display for component videooutputs and HDMI output• When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals viathe AVR-4806CI, the on screen display is displayed on themonitor when the “System Setup” operations areperformed and when the remote control unit’s ON SCREENbutton 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-4806CI, the characters of the on screen display are notdisplayed over the picture.(HDMI / DVI-Dterminals)(HDMI terminal): only MAIN ZONE 480i/576i¢ The analog video to HDMI conversion function:• The AVR-4806CI’s video up-conversion function lets yououtput analog video input signals (component – 480i/576i,480p/576p, 1080i or 720p; S-Video and composite video -480i/576i) to the HDMI monitor output terminal.• With the AVR-4806CI, the resolution of the signal output tothe HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal can be selected (page 108, 109). 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 controlunit.• 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”( page108, 109).In this case, the function for video up conversion to thecomponent video terminal operates.
