I would like to ask you guy , what kind of cables do you use for plasma prewiring. The situation is - plasma above fire place - DVD,HD cable , VCR about 25ft. away on side of fire place. I do not plan receiver( I want to use tv speakers) and I do not plan any universal remotes. All setup should be easy to control by original remote for tv . So I did pull 15 RG59 (5 DVD , 5 HDcable , 3 VCR) to get audio and video signal. It is big bundle of wires , and I do not like , how it looks like. What do you use in this situation - less wires , different wires ...... if you want to make and look that right?? And one more - maybe stupid question - can I run 480p picture signal to composite input or I have to use always RGB component ?? Thank you for your help - Rob

It would depend on the plasma. For HD cable I would run component or 3 RG59 or a DVI or HDMI +2 RG59 for audio. For the DVD the same. For the VCR 3 RG59. This would change accordingly to accomodate differing cable boxes and DVD players. 480P must go over component video or RGBHV. Always run a Cat5E just in case. If the plasma has a media box you will be using a propriatary cable(or 2 or 3). Having said all that I would use a switcher or an upconverting receiver or a line doubler with a pass through. Usually I use a 2 inch greenfield and never have a problem

Mini RGB cable for Cable Box and DVD. Sometimes HDMI and DVI, depends on the equpiment and display. Always run at least two CAT5's to the display. One for IR/control, and one for future Video over CAT5 needs.

If you are prewiring use Carlon Resi-Gard 2" flexible conduit.
