DVD/VHS Combo Question Re: S-Video/Component

[top1percent]

I was curious If I purchase a DVD/VHS combo, will it output the VHS signal through the Component or S-Video outs?

I'm trying to run a single set of Component Cables to my projector, but could also run a S-Video cable if needed for VHS.

Thanks for the help,

Brad

Hello,
I'm not an expert on the combos as I don't have one, but I'll offer an opinion. I would suspect that the vhs and tv signal will have to go through the svideo cable (or rf antenna cable). I believe this because they aren't true digital signals. They have to be processed differently. By all means try it with just the component cables. I don't believe it will work.

If it does work post it here so others will know. I hope it will give you a better picture but don't expect it to work. Good luck.

P.S. Sorry to be negative but I'm doubtful, things that should work never seem to.

Unless things have changed in the last couple years the component out will only work with the DVD side and the S-video will work with both. The only way to find out for sure is pick a brand and model and check the manual for proper hook up.
