Well, here goes! I believe S cables split the video signals into chroma and luminence signals. The result is better color rendition and clarity. Composite RCA is less desirable in that the whole video signal is lumped together. COMPONENT rca cables are a different story altogether. I assume you're refering to the yellow composite 75 ohm video cable when you speak of "rca video cables"
Sat receivers and dvd players are much harder to recomend. A lot more choices there. As far a dvd players, try the Secrets of Hometheater website
