  If nothing is displayed on the monitor connected to your Denon Receiver, first check that the AVR-5805’s video output jacks and the monitor’s input jacks are properly connected. Ensure that the monitor TV’s input setting is correctly set to the jacks to which video signals are connected. Also, make sure that the VIDEO OFF mode is not set and that the PURE DIRECT mode is not active; use a surround mode other than PURE DIRECT. If the resolution of the monitor device connected to the component monitor output connector does not match the AVR-5805’s resolution, use the SCALE button on the main unit or the remote control to check the resolution setting.
