I recently purchased a Denon DVD-2910. I have it connected to an Onkyo TX-SR601 receiver. The video display is a Sony KV-32FS13. I have a number of questions regarding the compatibility of these three components.
First of all, I cannot get the video to display when I use the component video cables from the DVD to the receiver and from the receiver to the TV. Is this because the TV is not compatible with Progressive Scan? Or, is there something faulty with one of the components. However, I can get the video to display by using either the S-video or composite video. I think I eliminated the component video outputs on the receiver being the problem by trying to go directly from the DVD player into the TV. This didn’t work either.
Secondly, I have the DVD player connected to the receiver using both the 5.1 Channel outputs and the optical digital output. I want to use the 5.1 outputs for SACD playback and the optical digital output for DVD video playback. I have the S-Video cable going from the DVD player to the “VIDEO 1 IN” on the receiver and use an S-Video cable from the “VIDEO 1 OUT” on the receiver to the TV. When I have DVD selected as the device on the receiver, I only get sound out of the front, right speaker when playing back a SACD. However, when I have Video 1 selected as the input device, I get sound out of the both front speakers, the center channel and the LFE. Is this correct? Why don’t all the speakers play when DVD is selected? The 5.1 Channel inputs are part of the DVD inputs on the back of the receiver. Is the SACD playing back through the optical digital connection or the 5.1 channel connections when VIDEO1 is selected?
I would appreciate any help that any of you can offer.
