Thanks Sushi, you know your stuff.
How ever complicated this stuff gets I can always make it worse. You know the sharpest tool in the shed!!!.....
Anyway, Not all the '02-early '03 models handle HDTV compatibility, and having said that you loose bandwith if you happen to run the signal through the receiver. (Component Video) Thus, limiting the quality to your viewing source (Front projection, Plasma etc.). Even if you have HDTV compatability, from what I've read/heard, you should'nt run the signal through the receiver because it'll act like a filter and degrades some of the signal. So I guess my next question would be whats so great about being HDTV compatible and does anyone really use it. Or do they just run the video signal from it's source right to the TV?
Keep up the good work.... If all goes well, and I can find some Axioms to listen to locally, you'll have made another believer!

You say you are in California, then where?
I am in the central coast.
There are people in the Bay area here and people in LA and OC ares. Finding an Axiom owner should be pretty easy in Cali.

Thomas,
Most of what you've read/heard about the picture degradation through component-video switch in the receiver is the 'net legend. I myself was quite anal and obsessed about this, until I found that my eyes cannot detect any appreciable differences in the picture quality whether or not the component video signals go through my receiver. Incidentally, I am using a 720p-class front projector with a 120" screen, so I have reasons to be anal about it.
Video switching done in the receiver will make everything MUCH more ergonomic. Having failed to detect any picture degradations, I of course feed all the component video sources through my receiver.
