What is best connection for dvd recorder to tv s vdeo or component video?
Component video is the best connection from your dvd to tv. It goes in this progression 1=Best=Component Video 2=Very Good=S-Video 3=Good=RCA Cables 4=Not so good=Coaxial Cable Component Video transfers the video in the format that it best suited from digital sources. The S-Video seperates the video from light and dark sources (which isn’t bad) but component seperates the signals by colors (which will give you a more vibrant video image). Be cautioned, if you do a component cable connection, you don’t want to buy a cheap type of cables. This is for very high quality pictures and can look really good on larger tv’s. If your television is only 27″, you may not see a difference between component and s-video. But if you have a large tv, the details will show. Good Luck!
