Do Pioneer VSX-72/74txv simultaneously output HDMI & Component Video??

[dakotadave]

I am pretty much set on buying a Pioneer Elite VSX-72TXV. The last question I have is whether this unit will simultaneously output a HDTV signal on the jacks assigned to component video out and the HDMI output jack. I am not worried about zoning one or the other, for I understand you can only use composite video for Zone 2. I just need two displays running at the same time (one on HDMI & one on component video) and I hope to not have to buy another splitter, etc. since I believe that it can get expensive for component splitting.

If the Pioneer units do not do this, is it possible that the AVR-3806 or the Yamaha 2600 do? Or, is this not standard for any AVRs in this price range?

Thanks so much

Answering my own post here since I am too impatient to get a response from others. At the local Tweeter store this a.m. I confirmed that you can simultaneously view a signal from the HDMI out and the Component Video out from the Pioneer Elite VSX-72TXV. Yippee!! I tested it with a component video source connection from a DVD player and watched the program on both the HDMI and component video input sources on an LCD.
