First Time Setup
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.
On the “Monitor Out” settings, you can select whether or 
not to have the video sources’ images output through the 
HDMI OUT, as well as whether to have the onscreen 
setup menu output through the HDMI OUT or through 
an analog output.
If you connect your TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO 
MONITOR OUT, set the “Monitor Out” setting to “Ana-
log” so that the onscreen setup menus are displayed and 
composite video and S-Video sources are upconverted* 
and output by the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR 
OUT.
If you connect your TV to the HDMI OUT MAIN or 
HDMI OUT SUB, set the “Monitor Out” setting to 
“HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub” so that the onscreen 
setup menus are displayed and composite video, S-
Video, and component video sources are upconverted* 
and output by the HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT 
SUB. The onscreen setup menus are displayed on the 
HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB only.
You can specify the output resolution for the HDMI 
OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB and COMPONENT 
VIDEO MONITOR OUT and have the AV receiver 
upconvert the picture resolution as necessary to match 
the resolution supported by your TV (see page 111).
Note:
See page 34 for charts showing how the “Monitor Out” 
and “Resolution” (see pages 55, 56) settings affect the 
video signal flow through the AV receiver.
