If you ONLY have a DVD player then it might be hard to understand. However
once you have a DVD player, a DVD changer, a Tivo box, an Xbox, and a couple
of other video sources and only ONE input on your TV then it makes more
sense. The A/V receivers handles all the switching for you so you don't have
to pull your TV out and switch cables every time you want to watch something
different. There is no signal loss with this method.
If you only have the one player, keep it connected like you have it.
