The AVR-3806 is equipped with a function for up and down
converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-3806’s MONITOR OUT terminal can be
connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a
higher quality connection, regardless of how the player and the
AVR-3806’s video input terminals are connected.
Generally speaking, analog video connections using the
component video terminals offer the highest quality playback,
followed by connections using the S-Video terminals, then
connections using the regular video terminals (yellow).

NOTE:
• It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI input signals
to the component, S-Video or composite video monitor
output terminals.
•Video down conversion to the MAIN ZONE’s monitor output
is only possible when the component video input resolution
is 480i (interlaced standard definition video – NTSC format,
for North America) or 576i (interlaced standard definition
video – PAL format, for Europe and other countries).
•To set the video conversion function for the MAIN ZONE to
“OFF” ( page 65).
2 The analog video to HDMI conversion function:
• The AVR-3806’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 terminal with the original resolution.
• The on screen display signals are output from the HDMI
monitor output terminal with a resolution of 480i/576i. Because
of this, if the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is
compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, all the signals the
AVR-3806 handles can be output to the monitor with a single
HDMI cable. The resolutions with which the monitor is
compatible can be checked using the STATUS button on the
main unit or the ON SCREEN button on the remote control unit.
• If the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is not compatible
with the 480i/576i resolution, connect the player and the AVR-
3806 using a component cable and set the player’s resolution
to one which the monitor can handle.
• If you do not want to use the function for converting analog
video signals to HDMI signals, select “OFF” for “Analog to
HDMI Convert” at “Setting the HDMI Out Setup”( page
65).
In this case, the function for video up conversion to the
component video terminal operates.
• When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via the AVR-3806, the on screen display is displayed on the monitor when
the “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 the
picture.
