S-video vs. component

Thanks, Reubent.

I picked up a used Denon AVR3803 that I found on craigslist here locally. I figure it's a good starter receiver for me and the price was right!

So, I get the receiver home, wire up everything and pop in a DVD. The TV picture is PINK! I then have this dread that the receiver has a problem with the component outputs. Further troubleshooting shows that the DVD player is trashed! Fwew. At least is was a cheapo DVD player and not my new (to me) receiver!

DrG,

I'll bet your heart really sank when the picture came up pink! Glad the receiver is working out. The Denons are well respected in their price category and being able to pick one up locally is icing on the cake.

Enjoy,

Ckorody, very nice explanation. If you need a HDMI 2-1 swithcher Accell has a nice one, here's a review:

Thnx KKM - some nice looking cables and the switcher is certainly priced right!
