All,
I have a Panasonic 42" plasma to which I run HDTV from an RCA DTC100 via the plama's VGA port. The plasma component inputs host my DVD player.
Problem is that my Panny suffers from the dreaded HDTV horizontal "seams" issue when running HDTV through the VGA port. I would like to purchase a VGA->Component transcoder (RCA makes one for about $150) to drive HDTV via the component inputs (my understanding is this will eliminate the seams issue).
My question: Will my Denon AVR 3802 properly pass the HDTV signal if I use it to switch between the DVD and HDTV component signals to the plasma. The Denon spec sheet lists the bandwidth for the component switching as 27Mhz. Seems to me that this is less than what is required by HDTV (something like 40-50Mhz???). Anyone know if this will work? Will picture quality in HDTV (or DVD mode for that matter) be noticably deteriorated? I would like to avoid spending $500 on a high bandwidth component video switchbox....
Thanks in advance!
