This is for your information. The people at the store told me to use video cable instead of s-video cable cable because s-video bypasses the digital comb filter in my tv which I should not do. The people at your store are full of that brown bovine steamy stuff!! You should always use s-video connections for DVD if your receiver and TV have that facility (in the absence of component inputs of course). Let me try and explain why. The TV's comb filter is only there so that the TV can process composite video sources. The native format for DVD is actually component video, which the DVD downconverts into s-video, so by using an s-video connection to your reciever you are keeping the format as close to the original as possible. If you use composite, the DVD has already converted that down from s-video and the TV converts it back again - not good.
