Why pass video signal through processor?

That's a good idea, JK. Running directly from the DVD to the TV (mainly because the processor doesn't support component video and secondly because there is no reason whatsoever to filter a great video feed from a nice DVD player through the decidedly ho-hum video switching of a piece which was recruited to do audio and audio only) but I loose the OSD from the processor, which is often quite handy. It hadn't occurred to me to simply run a dinky composit line into the TV from the processor and then use PIP to get to it when I need it. Cool. Many thanks.

I've had the same thoughts. What would necessitate purchasing a multi-K Faroudja? Any thoughts/feelings would be appreciated.

Jk You just solved my puzzle. I was trying to figure out how to do on screen from the pre-amp while viewing a movie that is cabled directly from the dvd player. Now I just have to figure out how to bring up the pre-amp (s-video 1) input in the PIP box while viewing the component input signal. Thanks for the suggestion.
