I think you mean component- not composite.

Composite= red, white, yellow
Component=Red, Blue, Green


There is no real answer for your question. Some receivers do a better job than others. Personally, I use the receiver for the video switching 90% of the time. I just think that it makes the system easier to use.

Some people like to use the TV for video switching.

The best thing to do is try it both ways and see. Then you'll know.

I personally can't see a signifigant difference in HDMI, DVI, Component.
But others will disagree with me.

On the other hand I had a hard time hearing better quality sound from Cd's as opposed to casettes
