Is it possible to output the HD components AND the regular RCA (yellow wire) simultaneously?  You ask why... I have a TV guardian for the kids that cuts out cuss words, but is dependent on having the regular RCA hookup to edit the sound.

No, unfortunately, it's not.  The Video will only work in the modes listed.  It doesn't sound like you'll need the video though, if you will be using it to block cuss words for your kids.  The RCA audio (White and Red) works in every mode, so I would think your blocker would still work with the HD mode enabled.

I have made this scheme for my Xbox:

But when I connect the Component cables to my projector, I get a blue shifting screen... Does anyone know what to do? And when I'm in the Evox menu, my DTS receivers say's PCM audio instead of DTS or something like that. Is that normal?

You made?  You mean you found smile.gif.

It sounds like you don't have the switches setup correctly.  You are probably getting a PAL signal going to your XBox if you're just getting a scanning picture.  Check and make sure you have pin 11 going to pin 12, and pin 13 going to pin 14 and see if that fixes the error.

Actually, the blocker requires an RCA input so that it can scan the closed captioning to be able to detect the cuss words, and then it mutes the signal going to the red/white audio RCA cables for the sentence containing the word.

How is it that the X2VGA adapter has VGA out AND all three RCA (red/white/yellow).

So is the XBOX incabable of outputing both Component AND composite video at the same time, or is that just a limitation of this adapter schematic?

Limitation of the XBox, not the schematic.

Hmm I am following your guide
and all I want is component (rgb) output.
I see that to switch between the normal composite output
and the modded component output I need a switch between points 13-14
and 11-12. Am I correct?
In your diagram the switches have 2 legs but most switches have 3 legs.
will something like this work?

(from radioshack)

Also, I want to switch between composite and component with one switch instead of two, is this possible?
Sorry for the many questions but when it comes to electronics im a total newbie.  wink.gif

That's correct if you are using the regular A/V cable for composite video.  2 of those switches will work just fine, or you could use one SPDT switch instead of 2 different switches.

When the xbox is on hdtv mode will I still get sound output
from the original cable or do I have to build a sound outlet as well?

You will get sound from the original cable, but you can't have the original cable hooked up at the same time as you want to use component, due to the regular cable connecting pins 9 - 10.  If you left it plugged in, then you would have pins 9 - 10, 11 - 12, and 13 - 14 connected.  You should probably put in jacks for sound as well.

I see,
So the "normal" stero sound in your diagram is the red/white.
So now I have to solder 5 jacks and 2 switches.
hmm, this is getting messy   laugh.gif

To make things more simple I modified your diagram (hope you don't mind  wink.gif).
I'll start working on this tomorrow.

You probably meant DPST switch.
Anyway, got that switch and all the other parts, im gonna start working on this soon hopefully.

Whoops... indeed I do... lol.  DPST or DPDT should suit your needs just fine.

Mission Complete.  cool.gif
It was a bit harder than I thought but considering the result it was wroth it smile.gif
The tricky part was to get the motherboard back into the case as there is almost no space between the bottom and the motherboard.
Anyway, it works now. I will do the drilling on monday, till then here are some pics:
(please don't comment on my soldering skills  rolleyes.gif)
