Not an s-video, but component. Your TV should have comonent video inputs which is the three RCA style plugs colored Red, Green, and Blue. Everything you currently own will run over component with no problems. HDMI is nice because it is one cable for audio and video. Here is how mine is setup: HD Cable box/DVR - HDMI DVD Player - Component Xbox 360 - Component Media Center PC - VGA All the devices use optical or coax for audio. My next purchase is going to be a fancy remote that will control them all and use macros to switch the TV to the correct input and stuff at the push of a button.

I set the DVD player to play back at 1080 and it worked, looks good, etc. Are you saying that it would work just as good if I just went out and bought an s-video cable? I'm kinda new to this whole home theater thing. Finally have enough money to throw at it. So, suggestions are welcome.
