Thread: Component video through a receiver??

Thanks,

I'm begining to see the picture now ......... I'm learning a great deal from this forum and others - calibration, removing anti-glare screens, and component video thru the receiver - just to name a few .......

Cheers,
James

I have my DVD Player, my XBox, and my GameCube going through my receiver through the component inputs, an Integra 9.1 Receiver (a high end A/V receiver) and the picture is just as good as a direct connection for me.

I had to order the Nintendo component cable through the internet if you're curious, as they don't sell it in stores.

I have had the install done. Everything is awesome and there is no noticable difference between direct connection and using the receiver. So now I have one less remote to deal with.

I can't believe how good the OTA channels are!

Heh, you should see my switching setup since my receiver doesn't support Component . I've got a Geffen 4x1 DVI switch, a no-name 4x2 component switch, and an Inday 4x1 digital audio switch. The only benefit is that I can remote control them all, so I program my remote to do macros every time I switch inputs. My wiring diagram is insane

My Yamaha receiver is now 3 years old and was one of the first on the market to have a Component switcher built in, it has 2 inputs and is rated at only 29 MHZ. According to the "Gurus of HDTV Component switching", you need something like 60 MHZ. This is nothing but pure BS. I have compared my picture quality going direct vs going through my Yamaha and their is absolutely ZERO picture degradation.

When Outlaw Audio created their latest and greatest preamp, they did some signal testing with HD and found that anything above 60 MHZ can actually introduce signal noise. I think they decided on something like 45 MHZ for their gear.

Now that I have more devices than inputs I just ordered the
Audio Authority 1154

4 component switcher. It's a cool box, it learns your habits and you can prioritize the inputs. It will also pass digital audio, composite video and analog audio and comes with a remote control. I just got it yesterday and will be hooking it up this weekend.

I have a YAMAHA Receiver also. The RX-V1200... Its Component Video Terminals are rated at 60hz. I also have the Audio Authority 1154, but it doesnt come with a remote. Do you have a picture of your remote? Because although this unit does a great job of passing the HDTV signal, it sucks to have to get up everytime to press the damn button.
