boa12 Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 anybody know about or have both their Video 1 s-video & Video 1 composite video input on a sony trinitron connected at the same time? asking because i have both an s-video out & composite out on the cable box, but only composite video out on the vcr. so does the sony give preference to the s-video over composite if it's getting the same signal from the same source? or if it's simultaneously getting a different signal from the composite source (say s-video from dvdp & composite from cable box)? or does it just shut down the composite input if there's an s-video connection even w/ no signal? or does it mess up the picture in any way? sorry i know i could just try it out but it's hard to get back there & maybe somebody has an easy answer. so simple-like, how does a sony trinitron handle connections under Video 1 between both the s-video input & the composite video input (don't want to switch between video 1 & video 2 all the time).

boa12 Posted September 9, 2001 Author Share Posted September 9, 2001 well got off my lazy & tried hooking everything to the video 1 inputs of the sony. no composite video at all when u also plug in an s-video connection. even if there's no signal from the s-video but there is from the composite. so iow when s-video is plugged it totally shuts off the composite video in. daa, guess that's why they have video 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 hey boa! give some thought to a svhs-et vcr. jvc makes 'em, and it would improve recording picture quality, as well as allow 1 connection for cable s-out-to-vcr-to video 1 s-in! avman. ------------------ 1-pair klf 30's c-7 center sony strda-777ES receiver NEW! sony playstation 2! dishnetwork model 7200 dishplayer satellite receiver/digital bitstream recorder pioneer dvd player sharp 35"tv panamax max dbs+5 surge protector/power conditioner monster cable interconnects/12 gua.speaker wire surrounds and a 'teens sub coming!

boa12 Posted September 10, 2001 Author Share Posted September 10, 2001 thanks av. would be nice but don't tape much - mainly use it for a tuner for PIP. for me dvd killed the vcr star hopefully recordable dvdp soon or maybe tivo like thingy.
