Are there any recommendations for HT receivers/processors that can handle any of the three major video input formats and output to television receiver any the user chooses? Example: Composite or S-video input passed to S-video or component out to television receiver. I think the top on the line Pioneer can but there must be others also.drobo
Follow Ups:
An A/V receiver will merely pass on whatever signal it is fed -- for example, even though you might input a composite signal to the receiver and take that signal from the receiver to the display devices via component video cables, you're still getting the quality of the original composite signal. Same story with S-video although the S-video signal will be better quality. In other words, no receiver is going to "upgrade" a non-component signal to component video -- it just doesn't work that way.Even though my A/V receiver has A/V inputs, I prefer to send the signal directly to the TV -- whether S-video (my cable box's best outputs) or DVD (component). OK, so it takes me two extra seconds to switch modes using the TV remote. Oh well, I want the very best signal pass-through without extra wires or switching devices in the way.
My choice of words was poor. I know we can't get something out of nothing. I was inquiring about receivers that can pass whatever input format signal they receive to any output signal to the television receiver.drobo
The receivers don't do that, they only switch. They pass the video input to the same format output.
