So if it's RCA in and RCA out, is there then any benefit to running video through the receiver? rein-o wrote: I was never able to convert my S-video to RCA. If you use RCA in you need to use RCA out.
Same in same out.

I found the Service Manual here: https://www.electronica-pt.com/esquema/func-download/31164/chk,f1c135f66cde862f76cdc9c7e8d29e4e/no_html,1/It has indeed the Pioneer PA4007A AC3RF demodulator (page 5/43) turning AC3 into bitstream that the YSS243 AC3 decoder processes. However, if you look bottom-left of that page, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO sections do not cross. You A/V Amp will not transform Composite to S-Video or S-Video to Composite. You need to use same IN and OUT for video. Julien

Some can process the signal. It makes it easier to select LD, DVD, Bluray. TV or Projector etc. Sometimes you may get a lag between the audio and video, so running through the same unit and then out to your monitor will hopefully eliminate that issue. Lots of pros and cons, its not a clear yes or no. I don't even have an AV anymore, just an audio amplifier. So it all depends on what end game you are trying to achieve. Since your unit has AC3 you obviously wanted it for that? So just connect the AC-3 and turn it on when you want, but make sure the audio and video is in sync.

The advantage (in a 90's world with a lot of analog video/audio sources) was to use the A/V Amp as a switch between various sources to output to a single video PER TYPE. Typically my receiver would get: - COMPOSITE 1, 2, 3 to COMPOSITE OUT
- S-VIDEO 1, 2, 3 to S-VIDEO OUT
- COMPONENT 1, 2 to COMPONENT OUT
And on the other side I had to wire Composite, S-Video, Component to the display. I solved all of that with a Video Scaler. Everything goes to HDMI 4K out now. => http://forum.lddb.com/viewtopic.php?p=91476#p91476Julien

Man, its one of those 56 pin chips?? If your guy can do it then give it a shot. I have no idea what extra you will get from it, also it may be a drop in exact but it may not be programmed for the rest of the unit. Also I didn't think people could do those, or I may be too old to understand such things anymore I want to edit this, I didn't think Humans could do this, I thought only factory machines could install these chips.

I stumbled across Anchor Bay's info sheet which proudly proclaimed "The ABT2015 is pin-for-pin compatible with the ABT2010."
Other than it being technically beyond my ability for the de-solder/re-solder, what would the results be? What "improvments" are on the 2015 that are not on the 2010? Would it be more like swapping out a CPU where everything just works better, or would firmware be necessary to access new features making this have little or no difference w/o it.
I do have a local repair guy I might trust & the part isn't very expensive. Thanks. No difference whatsoever. If not worsen

rein-o wrote: Yellow for video, RGB component for DVD only.
I have a 50ft cable and don't see a loss, shorter is better but quality you can sometimes buy cheap too. Just got around to switching cables from S-video to Composite (braille method ) on my Yamaha RX-Z7. Only 12 ft, but 2 cables & one is a so-so quality extension. Seems to work just fine, but WOW there are lots of options to consider. So, the next step is to adjust the settings on the receiver's comb & other video basic settings. I have my choice of using a DVD or I think the WOW THX disk has video setup patterns on it doesn't it? Since the player will play either is there any concern using the DVD, which I believe is more complete? (Yea, I'll probably end up using both lol) Just wondering how different the DVD video path is to the LD section of the Pioneer combi player? (DVL-700) & any rules of thumb for starting settings on the newer COMB filter if any? mosquito noise (off, L,M,H?) block/edge/detail etc? Thanks!

rein-o wrote: In order to get the best results you should use an LD to setup your set for LD and a DVD for the DVD parts.
Should also use a different selection on your TV i.e. Video 1 for LD and Video 2 for DVD. Yes, that makes sense, especially since there are 2 composite outputs on the player it would be easy, however I will not be using my LD to play DVDs. But since you suggest I might well expect that using a DVD for video setup may not equate to same results on the LD output I'll just have to experiment. Thanks
