Long runs- digital or video


My new theater has a rear projector. Most of the components are up front. I could move the AV receiver to the rear. So, which is better for the long run (about 25ft): Digital cable, S-video, component video, or RCAs (to the front 2 channel amp)? Thanks, Michael

I have all my components in the front of my room in a recessed 2'x8' bumpout, and run a 50' set of component cables from a Sony DVP7700 to a Sony VPLW400Q LCD front projector located in the back of the room. The picture quality is excellent. I've also run composite and s-video with lengths of 25 - 35 feet. I found that the picture was better if you run a long length of composite and convert the single to s-video just before the projector. Running a 35' s-vieo cable washed out some of the color by comparison.
