Why pass video signal through processor?


Is there any benefit to running the video signal through your preamp/processor (or receiver) versus a straight connection from DVD player to TV (or projector)?

That's a good idea, JK. Running directly from the DVD to the TV (mainly because the processor doesn't support component video and secondly because there is no reason whatsoever to filter a great video feed from a nice DVD player through the decidedly ho-hum video switching of a piece which was recruited to do audio and audio only) but I loose the OSD from the processor, which is often quite handy. It hadn't occurred to me to simply run a dinky composit line into the TV from the processor and then use PIP to get to it when I need it. Cool. Many thanks.
