I hooked up component video directly from my DVD player to my front projector, then paused a dvd to switch between svideo (input 1) and the component (input 3). I saw only a minor shift (left to right) in the picture but more importantly, I saw *no* improvement in picture quality. I then let the movie progress and paused again at a scene where someone wearing a pink sweater was holding a banana (come on now, get your thoughts out of the gutter!)and I finally saw a *slight* change in color (both inputs were setup exactly the same as far as the projectors tint/brightness/color/etc.). What bothers me is, the colors seemed more natural with the svideo vs. the component.
Is it possible that using 1 'video' cable and 2 'audio' cables instead of using a prepackaged component video cable setup is preventing the visual improvements I expect ?
Equipment; Sharp front projector (500 lines/250 lumens). Pioneer DV-05 dvd player.
Follow Ups:
You are running into the limitations of your projector.
BAsed onteh resolution and lumen output you quote it seemsto be a fairly old model.
All projectors (even if they can "accept" native computer resolutions or HD resolutions, or 480i, p , etc.) have to re-scale the incoming image to match their panel.
So, so much stuff is going on that you are mitigating any benefits of component over S Video I bet.I think this is comparable to hearing tweaks more deifnitively when your audio system is of very high resolution.

You will see a saturation increase in s-video, the component signal is definately real, not as saturated, or chroma spread, most striking is the loss of dot crawl and other artifacts, Mr. Tech, can certainly explain what the converters do in the composit and s-video mode. If you like a more saturated picture, just increase the color level on the projector in component mode, it is the best it is ever going to look. In motion, not pause, you will notice the very sharp lines, dividing colors and contrast.

using non-packaged component cables, versus what I'v done, which is use one video and two left over audio cables ?
Video cables should be 75ohm always, audio cables are not designed for that, trouble is that length vs capacitance will roll of the hf information needed for video, and allow lots of noise too. They work in a pinch, but lots of problems can accure. Trouble comes from RCA connections, people just assume an audio cable will work. The FAT RCA cables with the yellow color, are generally video. Also keep them all the same length.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying the blue & red cables which are packaged with the yellow video cable sold in most brick and mortor joints are *ok* to use as component cables. But the red & blue do not do what the prepackaged set of three *component* cables offer in terms of performance?
They can be any color of course, 75 ohm is a must, component R G B lengths equal. I deduced that because audio cable is being used, Black for left, red for right, and if it is a true VCR A/V cable, then the yellow one in the middle is FAT. But, I have been known to be wrong..
