First off, thanks everyone for all your help as I set up my home theatre. I
just bought a LG LCD. Previously, I had everything hooked up with Svideo
because my old TV did not have component. I got impatient when I bought the
new TV and hooked it up with S and it looked fantastic. I then took
everything apart the next day and redid everything with component - and it
looked grainier. At first I thought it was my imagination, so I rehooked up
the Svideo and it indeed was clearer. Is this possible? The TV is capable
of 720 - does Svideo limit this?
A few more questions if anyone has the time.
1. The DVD player and TV have HDMI. Right now I'm plugging everything
into the receiver (Onkyo) which makes switching easy with the macros on the
remote. Any advantage to going HDMI? I'd have to go directly from DVD
to TV which would be a big disadvantage from a ease of use perspective (I
have at least 3 "universal" remotes on the table at any given time now since
not one remote can do everything I want - the TV one has aspect ratio, the
receiver has surround modes, etc)
2. One thing I can't figure out is how to set up the TV so my wife can
just turn it on with one remote and not use the AV system. Can I just plug
a coax from the box to the TV? If I did, how would the TV know when to use
the coax versus the signal from the receiver? I could also use the
component out on the cable box to component in on the TV, then split the
analog audio which currently goes into the receiver so that it also feeds
the TV. Any better ideas?
Thank you!
