Is there any benefit to hooking up more than one connection to a HT receiver? I.E. using S-video plus digital co-axila and analog. Will they cause problems? I'm looking for the best picture & sound I can get with what I have.
It's a Pioneer VSX 26, Denon 755/1910 DVD player. The Pioneer book says if you use S-video from the DVD to the receiver you should go S-video from the receiver to the TV. Is the digital cable any better than the rca cable?

The S-Video signal contains only video, and is composed of a brightness and color line, both analogs. The signal on the RCA line is a composite of all control, brightness and color signals. So S-Video is potentially better, although in practice, I'm not sure it really is. While S-Video signals carry the information in two components, the color signal is still a composite. Better performance can be obtained by keeping all video signals separate, such as RGB component video.
