In Reply to: Why should I use video inputs on my receiver? posted by Tadlo on December 7, 2005 at 12:56:29:
> But someone said that the video connection of the VCR must go through the receiver in order for the receiver to process the surround sound properly.That doesn't make any sense, unless the receiver does something stupid, like only let audio through if a video signal is present.
I run most of my lowish quality video sources through my preamp/processor, as the loss of quality isn't that bad, and I have a bunch of SVHS sources (VCR, PVR, Laserdisc, game console, front panel aux for video cameras or a laptop) The DVD is routed straight to the TV through component video, though.
It's also more convenient to switch through the receiver if you have a projector, instead of running a bunch of long video cable runs, you can save and invest in one high quality cable. I've got some Canare dedicated 5-channel video cable for the projector I'm going to install, and my line doubler will do all the switching and conversion.
