In Reply to: Any diff. between Composite, and S-Video? ? ? posted by Hantra on June 03, 2001 at 00:31:05:
I was just looking at that yesterday with my installation of a DBS Dish that has S-Vid out and cable out. Was comparing them on my Sony 32" XBR and older Yamaha RX-V992 and when you toggle back and forth on the 2 different inputs, the S-Video definetly removes blurring from around image boundaries and is generally great at tidying things up. I'm staying with the S-Video, the picture quality is first class when compared to composite and the Sony's digital comb filter is no slouch either.

One has to keep in mind, that the souce must be s/vhs, or interfaced to s/vhs from a higher quality standard like component. Sources from, DBS are component, converted to s/vhs with outs provided, DVD & S/vhs video tape recordings played on an s/vhs machine. Mini DV outs, High8 outs. Off air broadcasts of local channels are composite and will not reveal a better picture. Digital cable will provide s/vhs outs of their converter boxes, but standard cable won't give better results. Any recording on s/vhs machines, with s/vhs tape will give better results than standard vhs. Keeping a system in s/vhs from reception, to recording, to viewing will the best it can be, next to full component.

S/video, component etc., is ready for the FAQ.
