DVD/VCR Cable Box TV Cable Question

trying to hook my dvd/vcr combo up to cable box and TV but need an RF converter I guess as the DVD won't play on my older SD tv without the RF modulator-

TV has composite connectors yellow/white/red, plus component blue/green/red, plus 1 S-Video connector-

the cable box and dvd/vcr combo also has all three connections,

but the RF modulator only has composite yellow/red/white and S-Video connection, plus coaxial in and out- I want the best picture possible, what wires am I going to need? Am I stuck having to use composite wires?

The problem I'm facing is trying to have all three devices use S-Video or component wires- as there is only one set of connections per wire type (IE component connections only have one set of red/blue/green on cable box-) Meaning I could use component cable to go from cable box to DVD, but I would have to use S-video from DVD to rf modulator, but then from RF modulator to TV it would be a coaxial cable- so doesn't that defeat all the effort trying to use higher quality wires if everything gets funneled down to coaxial cable for the last connection?

This stuff really confuses me- I'd like the best quality picture for both DVD viewing and for cable TV viewing- but having to use
