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.
