Hi guys
I was just wondering, am I better off connecting the DVD and VCR directly to the TV, or should I route them through the amplifier, or both?
Any answers gratefully received!

It depends what you mean by "better off."
Through the receiver:
* convenient source switching
* a slight (possibly unnoticable depending on your equipment) degradation of the video signal
Directly to the tv:
* a slight (possibly unnoticable depending on your equipment) improvement of the video signal
* less convenience
Through both:
* You get to buy 2x as much cable for no reason.
