Component inputs needed to enjoy anamorphic DVD's?
I recently acquired a receiver and will soon begin using that to switch between my video sources. Since it only switches S-Video I would have to give up my component connection from my DVD player to the TV.
Will I still be able to enjoy anamorphic DVD's using the S-Video cables?
<small>I know I could still plug the DVD player directly to the TV and just route the sound through the receiver, but I'm trying to keep the wiring simple. My wife is going to have to use the system, too.</small>

Heck, while we're at it (and for informational purposes) can one enjoy anamorphic DVD's (and their increased resolution) using composite connections?

Anamorphic is related to the way the DVD was created (and how it interacts with your DVD player) and not really related to the output of the DVD player. No matter what type of connection you use, the output is still the same - you'll get a 480i image.
Progressive signals though do require the use of component cables and a compatible TV set.

Another thing to consider. Progressive scan will make bad transfers look worse. Bottom line, a reference DVD should look better by a small but noticeable amount.
