A follow up issue to the 976 concerning video and possibly correcting a problem I have with my TIVO Bolt and hdmi outputs. I have both a plasma TV and an overhead projector and in the past I could send either a video signal to my TV via hdmi and to the overhead projector via component cables. Sound was handled via a connection from the Tivo to the Marantz that I used as a pre-amp for my Outlaw 770 amp. I connected my bluray via hdmi directly to the overhead projector (a 35 foot run).

I've upgraded to the Bolt that has no component out and there went my using my overhead projector for TIVO. I noticed that the 976 has 2 hdmi outs and 5 hdmi inputs. Could the 976 handle the following:

Bluray and TIVO hdmi inputs and each outputting to either the plasma TV and overhead projector. In effect the 976 acts as a kind of hdmi switch. I could then eliminate the component cable (a 35 foot run).

I hope I made this problem clear enough.
