I have 1999 hitachi ultravision 53 projection tv.

With that receiver, you must use the same type of connection throughout the system or you will lose your color. Use an S-video cable to the TV or connect everything else with a composite (RCA) cable.

You could also use these http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&PartNumber=180-141&DID=7 to convert your few composite connections to S-Video connections. You will not gain S-Videos quality but at least your connections will be consistent and switching will all be the same.

Hope this helps.

I had s video from dvd to rec and svideo out connected from rec to tv. I was told I had to use rca out on the rec out to tv as well to use the on screen display. Also sat is analog and I was using rca composite. If sat is changed to s video should it then work? I have connected all video directly to tv and it works this way just can't use remote which is a pain.
Any more suggestions are appreciated.thanks,
mark
