Help me!
For reference,
A. Pre/Pro is Rotel RSP-1066.
B. TV is Sony Wega 32"
C. VCR is some Sony Model
D. DVD is Integra DPS 7.2 (Nice sound, not progressive scan)
1. My home theater equipment will be located in the back of the room except for the TV and a VCR. I need to be able to send stereo audio from TV and VCR back to the rack in the back. The distance is about 25 ft. Any manufacturer suggestions? Looking at something comparable to Acoustic Research / Dayton price point.
2. How do I hook the Cable/VCR/TV combo into the receiver so that I can use the tuner in the VCR to record a program while watching a different channel on the TV? Do I just take audio and video from the VCR back to the pre/pro? or should I make separate connections for the VCR and TV back to the pre/pro?
3. What is the advantage of switching the video through the preprocessor other than if I stay with component video for all inputs, I'll always be able to see the OSD for the prepro?
4. Would any of this change when I go to a plasma display in future?
5. Would I see a significant improvement if I go to S-Video or Component Video from the DVD?
