Component video/Front Projector - Why no difference?

207.162.228.13

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.
