I seem to be having problems with my picture when I use the S-video cable.
I have tried different s-video cables and also tried direct connection from DVD to TV as apposed to going through my receiver, but still no joy.
the problem is a haziness at the side of both ends of the TV, sort of like a really hot day haze.
When I use normal composite connection all is ok.
I spoke to a guy at work who recons that because the S-video cable has no earth you will probably experience a lot of interference and will have to buy really expensive s-video lead to get round the problem.Set-up
Philips TV
Onkyo Receiver 787
Toshiba DVD
The S-video cables are fairly decent cables.Any advice would be great.
Follow Ups:
I have a different interference problem w/ my svid cable. Twin runs of 1506. On digital cable, the picture is steller on the digital channels but on the non digital ones I get a very sharp picture but fine grain!
Even more strange is I am using the same digital cable box an cable but different HDTV. Only on the Toshiba 40h80 does this happen and not on the mitsu 55857.
On the Toshiba the svid completely blows away the comp. or "F"
On the Mitsu there is very little difference svid to "F"??????
And the faces have a shine to them.Do the TV's need to burn in as well? The mitsu was fired up a few days ago..Thanks,

Any cable can get a short or ground and cause problems. Try another S-Video cable and see if that makes a difference. If not, then either the source's S-Video output or the receiving S-Video input is bad. The S-Video connection is better than the composite by a good margin.
I would say it is the the output signal or the input jack itself!I have a 50' run from my receiver to my TV and the picture could not be cleaner and sharper... i spent 50 dollars on the cable!
no doubt that S-video is WAY better than composite!
your problem lies elsewhere (IMO). does it happen on another S-video input on the TV or have you not tried it?
