Please log in for more thread options I just purchased this used and had a couple of problems with video. After looking everything up I could not get any video from my DirevtTV Tivo unit. Here is my setup. Svideo from sat unit to receiver. Component from DVD to receiver. Component out of receiver to my Sony TV non-HD. I got video from my DVD unit but the only way to get the video to work for my sat receiver I had use the composite (RCA) jack to the TV. So now I can watch DVD on input video #4 on the TV and #1 on the sat unit. Would like for everything to work off of one. Oh one more thing. The S-Video would never work. I tried the output on the receiver to the TV with no picture. Is the component video causing the svideo not to work? Should I just go to all S-video? Thanks | |||||||||||||

This is only rouring video signal path nothing to do with video quality. I just set up my HT and that is one reason I got rx-v2500 receiver. If your unit has upconversion ability then it has to be enabled from the set up menu. Still one draw back on my unit is, Viewing VCR tape. Display gets very unstable thru componenet input. This is mentioned in the owner's manual. I wonder there is a unit out there which plays VCR tape stable. Tony | |||||||||||||

I've got DVD player in through components, set-top box in through S-video and VCR in through composite and everything out to the TV through components. Video quality from all three boxes are stable, flicker-free and shiny as hell. Tony's right, Tim. If it's hooked up all proper-like, and you're still not getting picture from your Tivo, then the receiver doesn't have video upconversion. It's a pain in the neck, but hey, it's an old model, don't ask too much from it. Don't bother with any video going into the receiver; route it all to the TV -- that's the only thing you can do. Tony, I highly suspect that maybe there's a problem with your particuar 2500. I haven't heard of anyone having the problem you're describing with their 2500s. I mean, if my 750 does it fine, then the 2500 had better do it just as fine or even better! Take it back to your dealer and ask him to give it a try. If it's still under warranty, they should either fix it pronto or give you another 2500 in exchange. Good luck to the both of you, and let us know how it works out. cheers, vij | |||||||||||||

So my VCR S-video is routed to TV directly. Bit disappointed but other than that it's good receiver. Tony Tony | |||||||||||||
