That's fine (actually ideal) provided you're not plugging the yellow
(composite video) RCA cable into your tv.  If you do that your tv may
not look for a signal from the s-video since they're on the same input. 
Also most tv's have a button marked "input" or "tv/vid(eo)" which cycles
through the various inputs. Your vcr's inputs probably funtion in a
similar manner.  Your owner's manual will tell you exactly how for your
model.
