I would like to be able send the component video out from my DVD player to 2 separate displays: 1) RPTV and 2) Front Projector. The displays will not be used simultaneously - the RPTV will be used primarily during the day and the Front Projector will be used primarily during the evening. My original thought was to use a Receiver to direct the component video signals to either of the 2 displays. However, I have not been able to locate a receiver with more than 1 component video out / monitor. See my quest here:

Now I'm wondering if I can use 3 Y-Cable Adapters on the Receiver component video out to send the signals to both displays? Here's a picture of what I'm considering:
This Y-Cable Adapter would plug into the component video out on the Receiver and then I would have 2 separate component video cables to the 2 displays. It would be a 6' to 8' component video cable run to the RPTV and a 50' component video cable run to the Front Projector.
Are there any concerns or problems I should be aware of if I go with this method? Would this cause picture degradation problems, or would there be any bandwidth problems, or any other problems?
Thanks for any suggestions or comments.
