I’d like to know the advantages and disadvantages of the following connection options on a th-42pwd5uz panasonic plasma. This set-up will include a DVD player, a receiver (with or without component switching capability) connected to home theater audio, detachable panasonic side speakers and a TW 3100HD box. Assume 33% SD tv , 33% HD tv, and 33% DVD.
Option 1:
3100HD connected via components directly to display.
DVD player connected to receiver (no component switching) connected via S-video to display.
Option 2:
3100HD connected via components directly to display.
DVD player connected to receiver (with component switching) connected via S-video to display.
Option 3:
3100HD and dvd player connected to receiver (with component switching capability) connected via components directly to display.
Option 4:
3100HD connected via components directly to display.
DVD player connected to receiver connected via switch box to display.
I am interested in simplicity for wife, maximizing feature options (e.g. aspect, etc.) and minimizing remote controls. Any suggestions or other options would be much appreciated before I finalize my set-up.
