Can I label the PS3 and the Xbox 360 video 3 and video 4 in the menu but have them both coming out of 1 out put from the auto switcher? Then have the audio's named different? Not sure if that makes sense.
You sure can do this.
I want to be able to scroll thru the 990's inputs and see:
DVD
PS3
360
Wii
Satellite
CD
Will this work for me?
It sure will. Here's what I'd probably do:
- DVD: Connect the component cables to Component-DVD and the digital audio to coaxial1. Set the 990's DVD input to Comp-DVD and Coaxial1. Leave the label alone (already called DVD).
- Satellite: Connect the component cables to Component1 on the 990 and the digital audio to optical1. Set the 990's Video1 input to Comp-1 and Optical1. Edit Video1's input name to "SATELLITE" (which will just about use up the maximum number of characters available for a label name).
- PS3: Connect the component cables to your auto switcher, which is in turn connected to Component 2 of the 990. Connect the digital audio to optical2. Set the 990's Video2 input to Comp-2 and Optical2. Edit Video2's name to "PS3".
- Xbox360: Connect the component cables to your auto switcher, which is in turn already connected to Component 2 on the 990. Connect the digital audio to optical3. Set the 990's Video3 input to Comp-2 and Optical3. Edit Video3's name to "XBOX360".
- Wii: Connect the component cables directly to your HDTV and connect the stereo analog cables to Video4 on the 990. Set the 990's Video3 input to analog audio and edit the name to "Wii". You could include an s-video or composite video cable to Video4, and the 990 would transcode it to the component output for viewing on your projector. (As an alternative - in case you want to be able to add another video source without using the 990's rear input - use the AUX input instead of Video4 and disregard the comment about s-video or composite video.)
- CD: Connect the CD's digital audio cable to optical4. Set the 990's CD input to optical4. Leave the label alone (already called CD).
- 990 and HDTV: Your 990's component monitor output is going to a component video distribution amp to drive both the HDTV and the projector. The HDTV gets a component video connection from the 990 downstream of the distribution amp, a component video connection directly from the Wii, and an HDMI connection straight from the sallite receiver. The projector gets a componet video connection from the 990 downstream of the distribution amp.
This will let you have inputs identified by the 990 as DVD, SATELLITE, PS3, XBOX360, Wii, and CD.
