In Reply to: RE: 2 questions posted by dave j on August 10, 2008 at 20:41:35
The AVR 7200, AVR 525 and AVR 325 provide an exceptionally comprehensive array of digital and analogaudio and video connections, including wide-bandwidth component video switching, to pass the full bandwidth of HDTV signals with virtually no loss of resolution and the best possible HDTV image quality. All three models also feature multiple S-Video and composite video inputs and outputs, and all automatically simultaneously down-convert S-Video signals to parallel composite video output to simplify connection options in some home theater systems and assure video connectivity with TVs that only have composite video inputs.
In other words, it doesn't upconvert composite to S-video, but it will downconvert S-video to composite. From your description, it seems the receiver will also upconvert composite and S-video to component. Or do you really mean you're getting a picture on the display using a composite connectio? The reason I ask is because if your display has a component connection, why are you using the S-video connections from the DVD players?
For the record:
composite = 1 RCA (or BNC) cable, usually yellow in color
S-video = 1 4-pin DIN plug cable
component (the YPbPr version) = 3 RCA (or BNC) cables, usually red, blue and green in color
Follow Ups:
I was using the wrong nomenclature and causing confusion. I am only using s-video and composite (RCA) connections at this time. One of my DVD players has component connections and I may switch to them in the future. From the description from H/K it sounds like it will convert from s-video down to composite but not the other way around. Therefore the final connection to the tv monitor has to be a composite connection which is working at this time. I appreciate the help in trying to understand what is going on here.

Glad to see you now understand your setup's capabilities. Don't feel bad about the confusion, as all of the different connections, compatibility issues and technical jargon is enough to confuse the CE manufacturers themselves.
Just remember that while even the S-video connection will give you a better picture than composite, if you can use the component connection from the DVD player to your display, you will get an even higher quality picture. If picture quality matters to you, you may want to connect the video devices directly to the display, thus eliminating the receiver in the video path. The receiver would then only be used to switch the audio. However, if you have others using the system, it may be best to evaluate a new "configuration" before making it permanent.
