How can I set up and run my A/V Components and surround sound DIY? (without cutting into walls etc.?) Thanks!
I am running a Denon 3808ci receiver, PS3 (as Blu-Ray), Toshiba A-3 HD DVD, Toshiba Tivo DVDR/DVR, Motorola Cable Set-Top HD Receiver, Wii and Infinity 5 channel surround sound. TV is Samsung 52" LCD. Please give me any DIY tips, tricks and information you have to help maximize my system and pull this off without too much hard work... What is the best way to DIY set up, install and run all of my components in my family room? without going under the carpet or going into the walls? And where can I find good A/V cabinets/armoire/furniture to house the system at a fair price online or store?
Originally we planned on using a coat closet as an A/V cabinet (I have the Harmony 890 RF remote to go through doors), but I am now entertaining the idea of a wall mounted A/V cabinet or possibly even A/V armoire. I do not want my components exposed, do you know any places to get good A/V furniture at fair price? Please give me any tips, links or advice you can on how to best run this system?
I would get 1 or maybe 2 of these: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3880821 or maybe just put whatever you have your components in directly under the tv. Also, if your receiver supports HDMI you could potentially just run two cables to your tv. For the surround speakers, I would get an area rug that covers the whole viewing area and run under that. Then, get stands and run the wires through the stands. I would check around locally for the furniture because almost always ends up being cheaper becasue of shipping charges.
