Converting Input video signals for Output  
(Video Conversion Function)
The AVR-1610 is equipped with four types of video input connectors (HDMI, Component video, S-Video 
and video) and three types of video output connectors (HDMI, Component video and video). 
Use the connectors according to the devices to be connected.
This function automatically converts various formats of video signals input to the AVR-1610 into the format 
used to output the video signals from the AVR-1610 to a monitor.
The video conversion function supports the NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC 4.43, PAL-N, PAL-M and PAL-60 
formats.
NOTE
• The S-Video input connector is exclusively for use with a Control Dock for iPod. It can be used when the 
Control Dock for iPod is connected to the connector assigned to the iPod input source.
• 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.
