H/K AVR 525 video switching help needed

I am upgrading my 10+ year old HT to a 5+ year old H/K AVR 525. It plays and sounds awesome with a DVD as a source but I cannot get a video picture using a VCR. My monitor-out is using a s-video to the TV (Analog tube for now). I have 2 DVD players and one VCR. The DVDs are using s-video with optical-out for audio. The VCR is old and just uses analog for audio and video. I have all the sources assigned, etc. I can switch from one DVD to the other no problem and can switch to the VCR but only get sound. If I take the video output direct to the TV I can get a picture (If I disconnect the s-video from the AVR 525). I tried using different inputs etc and can get everything working on any of the inputs except for the VCR video. What am I overlooking? I realize it is hard to troubleshoot on a forum but any suggestions would be appreciated. I would abandon the VCR except my kids have VHS tapes they still like to watch.
