I am at my wits end!
I have two Pioneer DV-F727 301-disc DVD Changers. Currently, they are hooked up as a Master/Slave combination with the S-Video output of the Master changer going into a DVDO iScan Pro S-Video Input. From there, the output goes into my Component Input on my Mitsubishi WS-55907.
Before purchasing the second DVD unit, I had the video output from the Pioneer to the iScan Pro input via component video cables. I had an awesome 480p output to the RPTV. Unfortunately, the engineering of the Master/Slave functionality between two of these Pioneer DVD units prevents me from utilizing component output. I now have to use S-Video out from the Master Pioneer DVD player to the iScan Pro. I notice a duller picture as a result.
My Mitsubishi WS-55907 has three component video inputs (one for the HDTV - taken up by my satellite setup and the others for 480i/p component input). I have separated the two DVD units at this point. However, I only have one of the units going through the iScan Pro, then out to the TV. This signal is output at 480p. The other DVD player is connected via component video to the last free component input on my RPTV.
The problem is...
The second DVD player's picture is out put at 480i.
Being a somewhat more advanced novice (but by no means a professional) at HT, I was thinking that I could try using RCA Y-Adapters (2 female > 1 male) input into my iScan Pro's component video inputs. Hopefully, this would produce (with the lease amount of effort) the ability to run both DVD players (obviously not at the same time) through the iScan Pro.
The other option (albeit much more complicated due to wiring) is to run the component outputs from the DVD players through my B&K AVR307 receiver. This DOES have two component video inputs with one component output. The output could go to the iScan Pro's component input. But again, this would require MUCH more effort on my behalf.
Will the Y-Adapters work? If so, how much loss will I expect? The adapters do not specify audio-only).
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks!
