The AVR 7200, AVR 525 and AVR 325 provide an exceptionally comprehensive array of digital and analogaudio and video connections, including wide-bandwidth component video switching, to pass the full bandwidth of HDTV signals with virtually no loss of resolution and the best possible HDTV image quality. All three models also feature multiple S-Video and composite video inputs and outputs, and all automatically simultaneously down-convert S-Video signals to parallel composite video output to simplify connection options in some home theater systems and assure video connectivity with TVs that only have composite video inputs.

In other words, it doesn't upconvert composite to S-video, but it will downconvert S-video to composite. From your description, it seems the receiver will also upconvert composite and S-video to component. Or do you really mean you're getting a picture on the display using a composite connectio? The reason I ask is because if your display has a component connection, why are you using the S-video connections from the DVD players?

For the record:
composite = 1 RCA (or BNC) cable, usually yellow in color
S-video = 1 4-pin DIN plug cable
component (the YPbPr version) = 3 RCA (or BNC) cables, usually red, blue and green in color
