PSP AV Component Cable Help!! NO SIGNAL

Im not to swift when ift comes to video cabling. I have a PSP with the component cable (RGB+L&R sound), A 4 way switcher that supports RCA, S-Video & ComponentRGB, & a Projector w/RCA, S-Video and VGA Ins. Hook up is PSP > Switcher via component cables > S-video into projector. I have tried Svid and RCA into projector W/ Progressive scan ON and I get no signal. Is this a limitation with the switch? Do i need something special to convert Component to S-Video/RCA? bTW the switch is a Philips 4way Auto Switch.. couldnt find any manual on it. Im begining to believe that any component plugged in is only going to work if its component OUT to a TV. Well, please advice. THANKS!

Switcher isnt a converter I believe?

S-video is like for Composite/RCA. You can "switch" between those two. Component IN must be component OUT afaik.

edit:
nope, definetly you cannot do Component output from PSP, into switch & out put as S-video/RCA/Composite. you need a high end converter to achieve Component -> composite.

You need to buy a Composite cable for PSP but you cannot use it for PSP game.

Component = RGB = Red, Green, Blue + Audio White, Audio Red

Composite = RCA = Yellow + Audio White, Audio Red

make sure the colors on the tv match, then hold the screen button on the psp to switch it to tv mode.
