Should I wire directly to VP30 or through processor?

[mc100]

Hi all,

I've come to the point of wiring my system after it'e been in storage for a while, but I have treated myself to a few new bits and bobs

The question I have is should I be wiring my freeview box and dvd player through my Arcam Av8 processor first then into the vp30 then onto the projector?

I'm not to sure as to why you would send the picture bits to the processor in the first place but in the AV8 manual there is a section dedicated to video connections.


Thanks

Anything in an analogue signal path will cause degradation- but it may be utterly insignificant, in which case your Arcam is a convenient way to switch audio and video sources together.

The Iscans also work as a Hub.

picture and sound should go to directly to Iscan and then sound to Arcam and Picture to Projector.

That way you don't need to change channels on the Arcan processor depending on which source you use. The Iscan will trigger the sound depending on which source is turned and send to Arcam.

I have my Iscan feeding a Coaxal Digital into the "TV" label of my H/C Amp.

I also have my xbox direct into my H/C Amps "TV" labelled Optical input so again no need to change the amp input wheather I be using DVD, Freeview or Xbox.

When I use TV, whatever the source I just need the amp on TV
