veyenyl Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 What benefit do you get from connecting the dvd player to the reciever rather than directly to the TV? I'm taking about the video connection, not audio. Denon 2802 Denon DVM1800 Sony 36" wega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 The benefit comes if you have mutiple video sources and you want to feed them all into your TV over a single input. The receiver can switch the source for you, allowing you to use that single input to the TV. It is helpful if you only have one video input on the TV, or if you don't want to mess with selecting the video input on the TV when you change from DVD to VCR, for example. You just select it once on the receiver and it's done. This will only work if your various video sources are all using the same type of connection (composite, s-video, component) or can at least be converted to the same type of connection. I hope this was helpful. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boa12 Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 also to use your receiver on-screen display u have to have it hooked to your tv (video monitor). don't think that works w/ denon on component vid connection though. so u have to use a composite or s-vid connection for that or in addition to a component connect. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
