New to Home theater..but learning. I have spent a good bit of time in the beginners & FAQ section as suggested. I did learn a great deal. Great setup.
I still have a few elementary questions. I now have my system hooked up with all sources channeled thru my receiver using RCA cables.(red,white,yellow). I did not use S-Video because a paragraph in my receiver instructions cautioned that you should run all of the same type connections to/from your components.
My old VCR does not have s-video so I opted to not use S-video at all at first.
Did I misunderstand. Could I use (3)S-video cables from Satallite, DVD player, & TV to the receiver and leave the RCA's from the VCR?? and if I do, should the yellow video cables then be removed?? I would sure like to use s-video if there is a picture improvement, even if it means disconnecting the VCR (which I probably won't use anymore)
Audio.. I now understand from the beginner area that I need a digital cable (optical) from my DVD player to the receiver to receive DTS and DD. I want this. Do I then remove the red,white RCA cables from the same or just leave them there??
