So, here's the scenario:

DVD, VCR, Cable Box going into the receiver, which the person i'm helping will be using for video switching, going out to a projector.

So, hypothetically, let's say I use component video cables for DVD to Reciever, Composite for Cable to Reciever, and S-Video for VCR to Reciever, do I need to run all three from the reciever to the projector? Or is the reciever "smart" enough to carry any kind of video input through a component cable I hook up on the OUT to the projector?

I guess in short, will the reciever take any video in and covert it to any OUT that I have out to the projector, or do I have to match cable for cable, or does it depend on the reciever?

Thanks!
