Component video switching. Good or bad?

[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 to the picture quality versus hooking it straight from the source. I plan to add a dish network hd receiver in the future so this would save me the time and expense of adding a two component wires. What do you guys think? Am I better off just running it straight to the source or would I be ok doing component switching? Thanks guys.

Any additional cables or connections in anything will VERY slightly degrade any signal. For the ease of running only one wire to your projector however.... I doubt you'd even notice a difference. Just make sure you use good quality cables. Check out the link below for Cat Cables, they make awesome gear at reasonable prices. :T

Jason's right any break in the signal route will degrade the signal...but its typically very minor and the convienience is almost always worth it.
