One thing I'm really missing that the 990 does not have is a second set of component video outs. This is very handy when used in a system with a projector...I have a standard TV also for normal viewing or just when I don't want to turn on the projector. It's also very handy just for quick menu changes and stuff like that. It takes a projector a couple of minutes to get going, plus wear on the bulb..just for 30 seconds of looking at the menu.

So, what's the best way to split the component output without losing picture quality?

I can recommend the Inday:

My company uses Extron all the ime.

I work with an ISF instructor, and this is one of the only products he will use.
