Out with the old, in with the new. New (Used) Sony KP-53HS10 HDTV, Sony DVP-NS755V DVD player and Sony STR-DA1ES A/V Receiver. Replaces a 15 year old 45" Zenith and Yamaha equipment. DVD wasn't even on the market yet when that equipment was in it's prime. But to get to the question, the Sony receiver has Optical and Component video inputs for the DVD. But I've received suggestions to go directly from the DVD to the TV instead, via the component video jacks. To me, this defeats the switching capabilities of the receiver but what do I know? Is there a reason for this suggestion based on fact's like there is some double conversion going on in the receiver to induce noise etc? Or is it really O.K. to just hook everything up to the receiver as it was designed by Sony. I know that question is not as simple as it sounds so just hit me with the quick and dirty. Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.
