On my old receiver (10-year old Onkyo), I have the option of routing all the video cables (satellite coax cable and RCA outs from VCR and DVD) through the TV, so I could select sources more easily. But, I found that this made the picture darker, so I put the video cables directly into the TV.With newer receivers, I'm thinking Yamah, Onkyo, Denon, etc. has this improved? Do people generally rout their video through their home theater receiver for convenience? Have you tried it direct? Did you notice a difference?
Follow Ups:
connect your best video signal (digital antenna or digital satelite ) directly to your monitor, and switch the low-quality video (cable TV, DVD, etc) through the receiver.all receivers/ video switchers, and even long cable runs will attenuate the signal to some degree.
you need at least 100 mHz for HD video. if your receiver does not list the video bandwidth in the specs...it's not good enough.
it's highly unlikely that any 10-year-old device has that kind of video switching capacity...there was no need for it way back then.
I have run my cable component signal (including hi def) through Yamaha receivers then through a 30 ft cable run to a Sony CRT projector. The picture appears ufazed by either the receiver or the cable run and looks perfect.
I hook all video devices directly to the monitor. Their aidio feeds go to the ppre/pro. Why add another routing and risk ANY picure quality damage?
I did for my sister...but she has an Arcam HT receiver. There may be a slight reduction in quality, but I can't notice it.
