    2 questions regarding video out

    To keep it simple, let's say I got a DVD player and a TV box all hooked up through component cables to my RSP1098. From the 1098 component out to a projector. What's the easiest way of adding a plasma TV to the 1098 (so that I can switch between projector or TV). There is only one component out..?!

    what exactly is video switching? Is it S-video or composite in, and component out? My receiver didn't have this feature. So I assume that's what it is.

      Video 'switching' simply means having multiple sources in to your receiver, and one out. The switching part is when you choose the source on your receiver, and the proper signal is sent (as opposed to selecting a different input on your tv, for example).

      Video 'upconversion' is when you can have a lesser video source input (e.g., composite or s-video) and your receiver can output that same signal via component video (or hdmi) outs.

              You can buy a component video distribution amp for about the same price as a DVD player. But then you are stuck having the same thing on both TV's.

                  Wow, I was pretty impressed with this one. Not an Integra product, but Onkyo seems to be putting out a good one with this release:

                  Component video switching on RSP1066
                  by Trevor_J
                  Hi all. It's been a while but I'm back with a problem that I need help with. This weekend I made the jump to HDTV which meant that I would finally use the component switching capabilities of my 1066. I have an updated unit that supports HDTV bandwidth on the component inputs.

                  Here's...

                  Chroma Bug on Hughes E86 satellite receiver?
                  by Chris D
                  I bought a Hughes E86 HDTV Satellite Receiver from Good Guys a few weeks ago. They're having a sale on them for $399, brought down even further to $299 if you buy any HDTV.

                  So far the set has been great. Others have reported local channel reception being dropped by these units, but I...

                  Rotel 1060 Video connection with 1098/Plasma.
                  by >>Angel<<
                  Dear Rotel enthousiasts,


                  Yesterday I bought a Pioneer plasma screen to complete my Rotel setup
                  After concluding all the (required) connections I found out that there's a problem displaying (progressive or not) an 1060 image on the Plasma screen.
                  I really hope...

                  Component video switching. Good or bad?
                  by NHT
                  Hello. I have the Rotel 1055 and planning to add a front projector tv to my home theater room. Due to the distance of the projector from my equipment rack, I think that using the component video switching in the 1055 is the best way to go. However, Im a little concerned if doing so will be detrimental...
