I don't believe you can pass HD over S-video cables. You need composite video or HDMI cables. And even if the program you are watching Says it's broadcast in HD, Time Warner might not be sending you HD. To be sure you are getting "all HDTV can be" watch the OTA broadcast for free. Someone else said the same thing but I can see a difference between nonHD and HD channels. If you're watching over S-Video you can not be watching in HD. I understand that but the picture is still damn good and better than with the composite cables. I will keep playing around to see if I can get the HDMI to work. No expert on this here, but my memory of hooking up an HD TV was that there were five cables going from the cable box to the TV, and the HDMI cable went from the DVD player to the TV. Those are component cables. 3 for video and 2 for audio. I tried that setup but the picture quality was not the best. If you're getting a better picture from S-Video than from component something is seriously wrong. Component is usually indistinguishable from HDMI, sometimes it's even better, while S-Video can only pass a 480i signal. Make sure you're actually using component cables, and not standard "composite" or audio type RCA cables. All component cables will have red, green, and blue colored connectors. Component cables are much thicker than composite cables. |
