#1 Are you using S-video out of the VCR? Sounds like you are, but I just want to make sure.

#2 If you move a DVD player's S-video output to the input used by the VCR (which should be an S-video input), do you get a picture via the monitor out?

If "no", you either have an assignment problem or a bad input. If "yes", and the S-video from the VCR gives a picture when directly connected to the display using the same S-video cable that connects the VCR to the receiver (otherwise you could have a bad S-video cable), you have gremlins.
