Most convenient is to get a combo DVD/VCR and switch using that.

If you have a projector, or a TV that will allow it, use the video composite input for the VCR (lower quality anyway) and the S-video or component input for the DVD. Switch at the final monitor stage. If you use the receiver, you can access receiver menus through the video screen.

But I hate that about entertainment technology in general: Everything tries to interfere and control everything else, instead of just doing its job and working together.
