Hey guys, havent posted here in AGES, but thought I'd reach out for some answers. I've had my SC-37 for awhile now, and still enjoying every minute of it. As of last year I finally re-wired my man cave and got things the way I wanted. Now the update bug is biting and I really want to get a projector. I've been eyeballing the Epson 5010, hoping they drop the price somewhat seeing as the new 5020's are coming out. But back to the point.

As of right now I have everything going to my TV, which I plan on keeping hooked up. I would love to be able to hook my projector up as well and just switch back and forth when needed. I was under the impression that the SC-37 was able to have 2 video outputs, but seeing as I've never tried it, or had any dealings with it I wasn't positive if I could.

If anyone with experience with this, or knowledge that could give me some pointers I'd be very appreciative. I know on the back of the receiver there is "Out 1 Control" and "Out 2" didn't know if it was as simple as me running another HDMI line from the projector to Out 2, or if I needed to go into the settings in my receiver to turn something on/off.

Thanks again!

    It works exactly as you think it does and is exactly designed for what you wanna do. One goes to the Tv and one goes to the Projector HDMI. In the menu You have to turn on both outputs together in order for it to work.

    Yep works with no problems. Enjoy the new projector. Grimster has a JVC HD1 if you want something in a higher league for a tad cheaper.
