    Component placement???

    Forgive this one from a newbie, but all things being equal, should I try to place me component cabinet as close to the TV as possible to avoid long able runs, avoid interference, and keep cable costs down? The pieces I currently have to incorporate are: Onkyo 575X Receiver Sony 560S DVD...
