you can also get a receiver that has 2 component in, and one out....that would free up one slot....

Hey guys....

will quality be diminished at all going through an intermediate device like that instead of straight to the TV? (by the way....thanks for the advice!!! I've been wondering about this same thing!)

as long as the component video switching output has a bandwidth of 35mhz or more, you wont lose quality..


This receiver is an example

if you check most receivers today, they will have around 30hz component switching...which is weird..
Im definitely gonna go higher..
wish the harmon kardons in the $4-$800 range had 35hz or higher switching
