Good morning all. Here is my situation. I have purchased a 51 inch Hitachi 51UWX20B 16 X 9 tv projector. I will be getting an Onkyo TXSR800 today or tomorrow. I have digital cable TV a DVD player and a stereo VCR.
Digital cable box is motorola ( 2 RF, composite , s-video, and digital connection)
Hitachi has 2 inpout with component and composite and 3 others with composite and S-video
DVD is a panasonic RP56 with digital optical, component, svideo and composite
VCR have RF and composite only
finally Onkyo has a mix of digital optical, coax, component and composite and s-video.
Now i have been told that because my digical cable box only have composite and s-video, that i cannot use the obkyo for video switching unless i hoo up everything in S-video has it won't handle a mix of S-video and component. Is that true?
If so what would be the best way to connect my equipment together to enjoy the best quality of picture and sound without having to use 3 or 4 separate remote to control everything and or to switch from one mode to the other
Thanks
Alain
