I'm kinda confused, is the TV in your son's room an HD set ?
If so, doesn't it have more than one component input or a HDMI ?
If it has HDMI , use that for the rec and the component for the Xbox, never mind, I see the TV doesn't have HDMI.
It looks like there is one Component output and several Composite outputs

This may be of some help:

Does the TV have a DVI input with 2 Audio jacks next to it, you could always use a DVI to HDMI cable... I carry them and install at no charge and most HSP tech's should as well, if not they can be had for $30-$50
