I have a basic AV system and I am trying to connect a DVD player, Reciever, and HDTV together an get the best sound and video quality.I have several options to hook up video (and audio) and wanted to know how each connection ranks in terms of quality.
*Digital Video Input (white serial looking port)
*Digital Coaxal
*Component (Blue, Green, Orange, Red (audio), White (audio))
*Std. RCA (Yellow, Red (audio), White (audio))
*S-Video
*Optical (I think this is only for audio though?)Am I best taking video straight to the TV from the DVD so that the the signal is not decayed by the reciever? Will the sound then mathch up perfectly with video?
Please help out, thanks.
Follow Ups:
Most new receivers have a digital delay function that will compensate for the sound and video not matching up. Check the manual for your receiver/processor on this subject.
I recommend doing this rather than passing the video signal through another device. There should be no problem with synching the picture and sound.
I'm no expert but this is how I would rank the connections.For Video
Digital DVI
Component R G B
S-Video
Composite Video (Yellow)Digital DVI and Component R G B might look about the same depending on your TV/monitor but either will be better than S-Video or Composite Video.
For Audio
You are correct, the optical and coaxial handle audio only and either of these will be the easiest to set up for home theater DVD playback. For 2-channel audio only playback (SACD / CD), use regular analog interconnects. Same for multichannel audio only playback (SACD / DVD-A), use regular analog interconnects.
