Hi... I've just bought an ae-500 and now need some help in hooking it all up (arrives Monday). I would like the best possible connections from my sources which are a Toshiba sd-900 (component output is presumably best option here?) and a grunding sky digital box (presume RGB scart is best option here?).
I also have an Onkyo TX-DS595 receiver. I have never used this for video switching before, but I think it has 4 s-video inputs and two outputs (whatever that means). I am right in assuming that receiver switching is not the way to go here as s-video pictures are not as good?
Assuming I'm right, this means that I will have two cables comming from the dvd and digibox into the ae-500. I think this is OK because the ae-500 has both component and rgb inputs. However, my question is, is the ae-500 able to switch automatically between sky and dvd? Or is there a better way of doing this?
I'm pretty good at building PC's (well I used to do it for a living actually), and like the idea of HCPC's, but I don't really know much about what I need and what the advantages/disadvantages are. Can anyone advise or point me in the direction of a good website that goes from the basics?
Cheers.... Gary
