Operation Manual

ENGLISH
• This function automatically converts various formats of video signals input to the AVR-1908 into the
format 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: HDMI
Analog 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 monitor
output connector with the original resolution.
• The on-screen display signals are output from the HDMI monitor output connector with a resolution of
480i/576i. Because of this, if the monitor equipped with HDMI connector is compatible with the 480i/576i
resolution, all the signals the AVR-1908 handles can be output to the monitor with a single HDMI cable.

NOTE
• 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 video
conversion function might not operate.
• When not using this function, connect a monitor output with the same type of connector as the video
input connector.
• The resolution of the HDMI input-compatible monitor connected to the AVR-1908 can be checked at
menu “Information” – “HDMI Information” (vpage 39).
• If the monitor equipped with HDMI connector is not compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, connect
the player and the AVR-1908 using a component cable and set the player’s resolution to one which the
monitor can handle.
• When viewing HDMI signals via the AVR-1908, the on-screen display appears when the
MENU button or
the remote control unit’s DISPLAY button is operated, if your monitor is compatible with a resolution of
480i.
• When only HDMI signals are input to the AVR-1908, the characters of the on-screen display are not
displayed over the picture.
• The on-screen display signals are not outputted from the COMPONENT MONITOR OUT.
