Default HDMI DVD Player to HDMI Receiver to VGA Projector?

Ok, I have the following setup:

- an upconverting HDMI DVD player (with HDMI output, component output, etc)

- an HDMI upconverting/capable A/V receiver (HDMI input/output, component input/output, etc)

- a DLP projector that accepts VGA connection in (it doesn't have straight up HDMI or component input, but has two VGA connections which in the manual are listed as "RGB/HDTV/Component Video Input")

Now, I am thinking the logical way of hooking this up is HDMI-HDMI from DVD to Receiver, and then component to VGA from Receiver to Projector.

Now, I can't find any sort of cables that do HDMI to VGA so I can go straight HDMI to VGA from receiver to projector... but, my question is would that be necessary at all, or is component as good as straight HDMI?

So, is this a good plan of action of hooking up my setup or is there a better way to do this, as I want only one set of cables to run to my projector from my receiver, be it component or VGA of some sort...

Thanks!

Use compontent to vga cable. Go to this page http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...02&cp_id=10235 and scroll down.

You can't do a HDMI to vga conversion using cables, so that's out.
But not to worry, component is equally good as HDMI.

that's all I needed - some reassurance before plunging into the cable shopping spree...

thanks!
