I guess it's the latter. Keep your TV/DVR setup as is. Just add S-video/audio out from the DVR to the DVD recorder, and HDMI out from the DVD recorder to your TV (or receiver or switch). DVD recorders don't have HDMI IN, if that's what you were thinking.

is here any DVD recorder which has component input? I have panasonic dvd recorder about 3 years old and it has S-video input. when I record SD program from my DVR and replay it on my opo player the quality is not good. I think it is the S-video input which is degrading the quality. Is there some one who can suggest some thing else to get a better recording.
Thanks

What record quality are you using? I have used XP, SP, and LP all very successfully. I have been told by people who have borrowed my disks that the quality is comparable to purchased DVDs. If you are using EP6 or EP8, that that is most likely your problem. I would stay away from LP quality unless you know in advance that there won't be much fast movement.
You say you are recording with a Panasonic, and playing on an "opo" player. How do they look when played back on the Panasonic?

Also if you're recording from a poorer SD source that may have something to do with it. DVDs I've recorded from a good DVD or a WS HD source(downconverted to SD) look as Luke said, like a commercial DVD. Try and not go over 3hrs/disc for programs with much movement. LP will tend to look like a macroblocking mess and even station bugs will have a mosquito effect.
Note if your source is a 16:9 postage stamp and you're using zoom on your TV that will also drastically reduce your PQ.
