If you need the conveniance of AVR switching then use component cables or good S-video connections between DVD and RCVR then the same to the TV. As you can probably guess its cheaper to go direct from the DVD to the TV as you save on one cable set. You will get a much better image with s-video over composite. A smaller improvement with component video over s-video.
The choice of optical or RCA for audio will depend on which component has the better DAC. If you use the optical out on the DVD player then you will be using the avr's DAC. if you use analog audio ( RCA) out then you will be using the DVD players built in DAC ( digital analog convertor)try both methods and see which results in better sound. |
