I just bought a new receiver and have a question about component and s video.
The 3 things in my system I'm concerned with right now are the DVD player, recevier and TV.
Currently I have S video out of the DVD in to receiver, then s video out from receiver in to TV.
My DVD player has s video and component out
Receiver has s video and component in and out but my TV only has s video in.

What I've been wondering is if I would get any significant improvement in picture quality if I changed to using component from DVD to receiver while still keeping s video between the recevier and the TV.

I guess in theory it would be better since I'm isolating more signals on at least one hop, but I was wondering if anyone has noticed a difference in this setup or if it's just not worth the bother.

Thanks

This would only work if your receiver was able to upconvert the s-video signal to a component signal or vice versa(downconvert). So in answer to your question no, there wouldn't be an improvement. You might even have a loss in quality due to the conversion. If and when you get a tv with component inputs, then shit can the s video all together and go with the components cables.

If the DVD player is the only device that uses s-video, don't even bother conecting it to the receiver. Go directly to tv from the DVD player.(less signal strength lost and less likely to get interference) Hope this helps, good luck.
