Umm...digital is better in this case. Your putting another conversion step into the process by using the component outputs into a digital capable TV. Every single review I've read about a DVI equiped player states that the DVI output improves picture quality over the component outputs. I would love to see where you got your facts from on this one. Please do post the link.

You will get less noise with a BNC connection as opposed to a RCA connection because the BNC connection is a much more secure connection. That's why BNC is used in professional installations.

I would stick with the DVI input. The physical seperation of your cables can't hurt also.

Sorry if I'm not technical enough with my information. I'm sure there are some engineers around here who could provide more technical advantages of DVI over Component and also BNC over RCA connectors.

Good luck!
