Component + HDMI at same time ?

I'm in the middle of an upgrade, and am thinking of either the Denon 3910 or Pioneer 868.

Does anyone know if the players are able to output a signal via HDMI and Component at the same time, so in effect connect my PJ and TV without loads of grief

Thanks

Steve

I do it with my Panasonic HDD rec' - the HDMI takes priority and is fed the HD content, the component gets 525p. This can be changed within the players menu but I kinda want to watch everything digitally!!

The component is for when I use the DVI in the PJ for my other DVD player.

my philips 5900 direct to samsung hd crt via hdmi and component out to philips dfr9000 upscaling amp which then feeds my sanyo z4 via hdmi.Seems to run ok,no upscaling through the component but the amp deals with that side of things.

My Pio 868 does SD component and upscaled HDMI at the same time.
I use HDMI for films and component for DVD-A as my display does not do CPPM for HD audio.
