PIP help
 

[If this is not the correct group, please point me in the right
direction. Thanks in advance.]

I have a Samsung HLR5067 DLP HDTV, a Motorola DVR HD cable box (a "Moxi
box"), a pioneer VSX-1015 receiver, an Xbox and a panasonic Progressive
scan DVD player. Everything runs through component cables and digital
audio into the receiver which has a component out to the TV.

I would like to use the PIP on my TV to occasionally play the xBox
(without audio) while my wife watches TV (with audio). However, I want
to leave the xBox connected to the receiver also because I usually play
it on the main screen with surround sound. Ideally a component
Y-splitter cable would be great because I could then leave one split
running to the receiver and run one directly to one of the TV other
inputs. I don't know if they even make a cable like that.

If they do, can someone point me in the right direction. If not, do you
guys have any other ideas. It is important that I use cables that can
transmit at least 480p (no composite splitter recommendations, please).


Thanks

Use a component cable switch box or adapt an AV switch box for the
component cables.

Thanks.

I looked around, but I am having trouble finding a box with multiple
outputs, not inputs. I need the component cable coming out of my xbox
to go to the receiver and the TV. In other words one AV source going to
two outputs.

Let me know if you know of any companies that make multi-output
switches.

I should have said you probably will have to use it in reverse.

I'd try an inexpensive A/V composite video/analog stereo audio switch
first to see if it works.
