I have a kenwood home theather system but my tv does not have an svideo input on it.

My question is if I use Svideo out on my dvd player to svideo in(video 1) on my reciever and have RCA out to the tv for video 1. Should it display a picture or does the TV have to have s-video also to use svideo on the dvd player to reciever?? I cant get the dvd player and reciever to work with svideo and I am wondering if it is because of the tv.

I thought that the reciever would convert the svideo signal to the rca so it would display...not sure

Unlikely that your receiver will convert an S-video signal to a composite one. Run composite in from source(s) and out from receiver to tv.

Thanks Dale the reason I ask it I was trying to use my laptop Svideo on input into the reciver and output it using RCA to the TV but it did not work. I bought a Svideo-Rca adapter and it works fine with that. I guess that is the only soloution since my TV does not have svideo.
