Thanks for your help. My receiver does do video switching, which has gotten me by so far using S-Video for both. I'm just curious to see if the picture is much better with component cables even with the 480i DVD signal.

I think the ability of the S-Video port on the X1 to use component in has me trying use it. Bottom line, one day, maybe sooner than later, I'll have the progressive DVD player using the VGA port via component(or VGA? - hmmm, there's a new problem). Don't some new DVD players have a VGA out?

I guess I'll get the S-Video cable now and figure out the rest when the time comes based on the future DVD player.
