Page 1 of Advice on a great S-VHS signal please. !!!!!!!

Hi I recently bought an old OKish data projector with the 4 pin s-video( s-vhs) in for dvd. Doing 7.5 feet wide across the top. Well trying.
I`m using a sony picot to send a pretty good s-video signal in buts its getting a bit tired and only R2 really. ( odd R1`s do play if its in a good mood)
The dvd pic on the projector could really do with some help so I wondered will a progresive scan dvd player send a decent signal down the s-vhs lead or can anyone suggest a player hopefully multiregion that sends a cracking signal out that way.
Fancied a philips dvp5160 ?????
Are there any that clean up picture noise etc too.
Thanks in advance.
Mark.

PS I see theres a sony blue ray machine with it coming out at £350 but i`m afraid I`m in the sub £100 bracket and much lower would be better.

Not offering help, more a correction, sorry! There is no such thing as an s-vhs signal, it`s a cassette tape format, nothing more.

I think he meant S-video, which is a signal format. Often confused with S-VHS, a videotape recording format.

Probably did mean S-Vid but hey ho.
Doubt another player, progressive or not will make a huge difference on a projector.
S-vid is S-vid. Yeah, there`s quality differences but Sony players are generally decent at output so I`d doubt the fact it`s tired has anything to much affect picture quality.
And your R2 stuff should look better than R1 anyway due to PAL and NTSC.

Best thing to do is check if it has a VGA input, the one for PC monitor or laptop, and if it does check it`s spec to see if that carries RGB or component.
(Component NOT Composite!)

If it does, then you should be able to get an adapter to change it from the PC type connection to the input type it handles. In order of preference for signals (best to worse) is the following:

HDMI or DVi (Digital connectors)
Component (3 cable usually phono`s)
RGB (3 cable again, usually in a SCART plug)
S-Video (the wee 4 pin cable you have)
Composite (Single yellow cable, also in some cheap wired scart plugs...lots of dots on screen ;) )

HTH a bit.
