How do I setup my Denon AVR887 for component out video?

Question

I recently changed from composite video to component video connecting my Denon AVR887 to my Sony XF50XBR800 using the Monitor out connection on the AVR to the AUX5 component in connection on the TV. The TV shows no signal; everything was working well with the composite video setup so what has to be done to get the component signal?

Answer 1

Usually, a receiver monitor out will only output the same type of signal that it receives, i.e., if all of your sources go into the denon via composite video, the composite monitor out will output these signals, and if all of your sources go into the denon via component video, the component video monitor out will output these signals. What will NOT happen is the sources that are composite going out the component monitor, or the sources that are component going out the composite monitor.
