Thanks again, rbinck! I was kind of leaning in the same direction -- that is, let the installers do the component video link and at the same time add an s-video connection as a separate input for SD just so I could A/B the results.

One more question for you -- by "Y cables" do you mean the audio cables? I take it that you have to run separate audio cables for each input, right? I've got tons of composite cables lying about -- can they serve as spare audio cables (obviously leaving the video cable unconnected) in a pinch?

Thanks so much for your help!
