Mike,

Yes. Thats exactly what I did, only in my case it was to a Yamaha receiver. This way I could watch a VHS tape and still be able to have the Yamaha on-screen display visible without switching video source on my TV monitor. Note that you do NOT get the usual benefits of using S-Video, but as I said in my original post, the resultant picture on the the TV appeared to me to be no worse than a straight VHS picture. Although I have seen a great many posts advising not to use a receiver as a video switch box, I don't notice any degradation in picture quality, which doesn't mean there isn't any, just that the results are acceptable and pleasing to me. Plus, I can eliminate unneccary cables, only have a single video connection to my monitor, and control all my video sources using my Pronto-controlled receiver. I originally purchased this converter cable as an experiment with the belief that I was throwing away my cash ( <$25 Bucks ), but I am extremely happy with the results.

Hope this helps.
