Cable Help Please

Hi there all!

This is my first post on here so please excuse me if anything I ask has been asked before.

I am looking to build a stud wall to house my LCD and hide the cabling in the wall.

I need some advice on what cables I need to put in the walll before I get started and re-plaster.

The equipment I have decided on is the following:

Samsung LE46A856
Denon AVR-2809 Av Receiver
Sony PS3 80GB
KEF KHT 1005.2
Denon ASD-1R iPod Dock

Any advice on cabling

Thank you in advance

Re: Cable Help Please

If your TV and Audio rack are close and next to or attached to the stud wall why not put a pipe in behind the stud. I my case I used 65mm PVC drain pipe which is great as over the past two years one or two cables have been changed, added, removed.

Re: Cable Help Please

I thought I answered that, put a tube in and then you are not worried about adding/subtracting cables at a later date.
My simple answer would be all the HDMI's, Scart and a component cable.
Audio from TV to AV system.
Aerial lead and mains connection.
