I have a Denon AVR3803 that can only output to one device by component video. I would like to split this output to 2 devices (my projector and my LCD TV). What equipment do I need to do this? Thanks.

Last year I purchased an excellent component, full bandwidth, domestically manufactured HDTV video switcher from a company out of Portland. Oregon named "Inday Multimedia Products". I don't have the link but you can google them to get on to their website. In your case obviously the receiver is still your main switching center and will switch the audio and the video but from what your describing, you will still need an outboard video switcher such as the above to redirect that video to its proper place without any loss of signal. This particular unit has one input that you would connect from your receiver and up to FOUR component outs to the projector and TV monitor or whatever else you may have. It has a display(that shows the output nbr.) and a remote that, if you desire, can be programmed in to your receiver's remote to switch the video output. I know there are others out there that still make this stuff but this one from "Inday" works beautifully and is very well made.
Not cheap, over a hundred dollars, but, in my mind well worth it.

Check it out.
