I'm trying to hook up a Panasonic DVD to a Denon 4802 receiver via s-video. My problem is this doesn't work at all. Regular RCA jacks work, but no signal from the s-jack. What am I doing wrong?

Do you also have an S-video cable from the receiver to the TV hooked up?

No, right now I just have a regular RCA jack going to my projector. (I can't find an s-cable long enough to reach.) I assume that is the problem. Thanks.

That's why it doesn't work.

To add on to Larry's comment...

Receivers usually don't alter video signal. So your composite in (RCA yellow) only goes out the composite out. And your S-video in only goes out the S-video out.

Try avcable.com, bettercables.com, markertek.com for any length S-video.

Unless you have other s-video devices, just run the s-video cable directly from the DVD to the TV. With only one S-video device, there's no reason to run it through the receiver first.
