I have:2 cd players (RCA), tape player(RCA), DVD(RCA/SVideo), VCR(RCA/Coax), Amp(RCA,SVideo) ins and RCA/SVideo outs, & a cable box(RCA/Coax/SVideo). Is there a product of some sort that I can plug everything into, except the amp, to act as a video selector, then run the video out to a tv AND a projector, and the sound to the amp? Know what i mean?

I think most of us would use a nice surround receiver for that type of job. Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer Elite, etc...

My amp is Marantz. I use a splitter from an RCA Monitor out, one to the tv and the other to the projector. Switching is no problem, but extreme loss of signal! Not only that, but my projector doesn't decode the Macrovision signal so I also have a video stabilizer inline of the RCA. Just a real crappy signal. I was hoping that somehow, there would be a way. I've tried 4 signal and/or video stabilizers, but was looking for the next option. IDEAS??

You need a composite video distribution amp to correctly split a composite video signal. Xantech av61 is a very well made one, but more then what you need.

This unit is a Time Base Corrector (strips video sync, and inserts clean sync) and video D/A. It is one of the cheaper TBC units on the market.

"I use a splitter from an RCA Monitor out, one to the tv and the other to the projector."
Do you mean a Y adapter?? Using a Y adapter can cause the video level to be dark and can cause macrovision problems to be worse. Try running the DVD's video out directly to your projector, if that works its not the proj or dvd.
I haven't seen any tv's bothered by macrovision, it seems to bother only most VHS vcrs.
