Re: Rank of digital inputs.

I'm no expert but this is how I would rank the connections.

For Video
Digital DVI
Component R G B
S-Video
Composite Video (Yellow)

Digital DVI and Component R G B might look about the same depending on your TV/monitor but either will be better than S-Video or Composite Video.

For Audio
You are correct, the optical and coaxial handle audio only and either of these will be the easiest to set up for home theater DVD playback. For 2-channel audio only playback (SACD / CD), use regular analog interconnects. Same for multichannel audio only playback (SACD / DVD-A), use regular analog interconnects.
