In Reply to: Any suggestions on what to do if your DVD has an s-video out but your tv doesn't have an s-video in? posted by sammy on March 11, 2002 at 18:50:55:
If both the DVD player and the TV set have composite connectors, then a composite interconnect cable should be used. An inexpensive S-video-to-composite adapter is an extra interface designed for use when neither composite-to-composite nor S-video-to-S-video is possible.As mentioned, if your TV set has no separate video input, it will require the use of either a VCR or a separate A/V RF modulator; better to use a VCR.
S-video-to-S-video connection provides significant improvement in video over that of composite-to-composite. There is less dramatic improvement provided by component-to-component connection over that of S-video-to-S-video.
As you are aware, and as has been suggested, you would realize much improved video with your DVD player connected as best possible to a current model TV set having at least an S-video input. That has probably been in your plans. Good luck.
