1 composite input: Not sure for what yet but I
thought I might as well as long as I am running
wires through the wall. Can I use this for Picture
in Pisture off one cable box?
Yes to PIP.
Suggestions? Any chance of getting PinP with one
cable box?
Don't know about this, though. Usual way is one from the cable box and one from analog cable using the tuner in the TV. That isn't always possible anymore as LCDs often don't have tuners and analog cable often isn't used.
No sound to the TCV as I am using my amp and wired
surround sound for this. (Will I regret not running
this wire later?)
I wouldn't. But that doesn't mean you won't. Personal decision, really.
I have a spare component input (3 inputs on the
TV) that I don't have a plan for and am not going
to wire. Is this a mistake?
Why not use this for your DVD?
Here is where I am having trouble- Should I run
these cables to a faceplate on the wall or run
them straight to the components? I heard from
some folks that I would be much better off running
these straight from the LCD screen to the components.
Your thoughts would be appreciated here.
The fewer connections the better. I like running wires in-wall to hide them, but the extra connection can be a source of video problems. A couple times I've just gotten a blank wall plate and cut an appropriate hole to run wires through without connections, perhaps a grommit to protect the wires.
