component hookup on monitor out

how can I hookup my projector that uses the three componet in cables, to my nr 709 and still use my tv also.
I cant seem to get this to work, the reciver is smarter than I, i used to do this on my old harman/kardon system. maybe I puting the cables in the wrong place, i assume the would go to monitor out?
thanks for any help, i am new at this so please excuse me if it is not where to post this at.

Hi Tlewis51,

How are the sources connected that you want to go out to your projector and how is the TV connected?

the tv goes through HDMI and the projector must hook with a single video cable(yellow) or the component (rgb) cable,I is hookup to the NR 709 at the monitor out place, that's the way it is hooked now, but i get no picture on the projector, tv works fine.

Hi Tlewis51,

It should work as long as you not trying to down convert the signal from HDMI out to component, in other words if you have a device going in HDMI and try to see the picture out of your component out this will not work. It will work in the opposite direction though.

how do i get the componet out to send video out to the projector, I guess I just dont understand this, maybe something different would work better.

i really don't know what you mean down convert?

Hi Tlewis51,


Down converting a signal means that you take a source and put it in an HDMI input and try to use something like a component output for video and audio.

i do realy thank you for your help, i just dont know if I get this to work.

Hi Tlewis51,


I've tested it here and it will work as long as my previous statements are adhered to.

i am sure you guys can get this to work, but I do not know what you are trying to tell me, plug what where? and change what? sorry for all the trouble, but I just don't know what your trying to tell me.

Hi Tlewis51,

I tested our direct TV box running component in on the receiver and out component to a TV using component then using an hdmi cable from the receiver I took that out to another TV and both TV's had picture.

OK sounds like a good way to do, here is how this is set up -- cabel box has HDMI out to the reciver (sat/cbl in) (not the component side, its empty) then the projector is out from the recivers Monitor out connectors(rgb) then from the receivers Hdmi out to the TV, I get a tv picture but nothing to the projector. I do thank you for taking all this time in helping me, i was ready to return this receiver and try another brand, but this had such high ratings I want to use it.

Hi Tlewis51,

You are welcome.

I still have no idea how you think I can see this up, and where to plig or setup anything. think it's lost cause.

Hi Tlewis51,

I know you said it would be hard for you connect this with an Ethernet cable but this may prove whether it is a router issue or a receiver issue.

i never said anything about an eithernet cable are a router, I was just wanting info on how to hook up my projector using the componet cable.

According to your last post It looks like you are trying to down convert the video signal which is something that can not be done on any of our or other manufacturers receivers.

All i ask for was help to hook up the projector to the system and make it work. like what do I need to do? and how to do it.

and i have no idea what you mean by downconvert? jus some help that makes since PLEASE.
