To suppliment my VGA and s-video inputs into my Hitachi 42PMA400E, I may be forced to run an additional composite feed, as I just found out that my VCR and Sky box may not be able to output an s-video signal and I do not have the cash kicking around to get an upconverter box just yet.
However, the PMA only has one composite and one s-video input, and they are both connected to the Video 1 circuitry. Russell at Nexnix told me that for this reason I would have to use one or the other - not both - as my Video 1 input. During the tests we ran when I was there demoing the screen, even the presence of a plug (whether supplying a signal or not) in one of these sockets would mean the other could not be used. I didn't think it sounded logical either, but that is what seemed to be happening.
Just in case I cannot get an s-video signal out of my VCR / Sky box, has anyone sucessfully managed to feed a PMA400 with both composite and s-video signals while leaving both cables connected all the time?
TIA
