Just beginning to hook up my HT system. Which outputs yield the best quality?S-Video?
BNC?
RCA?
AES/EBU?
Toslink?Heard bad things about S-Video (not sure why).
Gear;
Proceed AVP preamp - AES/EBU & RCA analog ins & outs, S-video & RCA video ins & outs,
BNC composite, RCA composite, AES/EBU, Toslink audio digital insRCA 36" direct view - S-video, RCA & coax video ins.
Proceed PMDT DVD transport - BNC, RCA, AES/EBU & Toslink audio digital outs,
S-video, BNC composite, RCA composite video outsDigital cable - RF in & Out (What's this for?)
coax out
L & R RCA audio ins & outs
RCA video outSony SLV-R1000 S-VHS - coax, S-video & RCA
Everything is close together. The longest run is to the TV (8'-10').
Thanx!
Just learning this stuff

Follow Ups:
I have the Proceed AVP and the PMDT and HPA-3. I use all the balance inputs. PMDT AES/EBU to the AVP, BNC Component out to Marantz PD-4280 and balance interconnects to the HPA-3. I use the S-video for the VCR and DSS to the AVP to the PD-4280. The manuals tell it to you straight.There's nothing wrong with the S-video, it's just not as good as the component. Stay away from the toslink if you can and if you can keep it balanced from source to amp you'll get great sound.
(Not sure what a Marantz PD-4280 is).
Or TV in my case. My 3 choices are S-video, RCA or coax (guess coax really isn't an option). Sounds like S-video would be the way to go here.Thanx!

Given those choices, S video is definitaly the way to go over standard video (RCA) & coax.
