    Building a Home Theatre and need help

    Thanks so far. I'm really after knowing about the amount of cables I need to run. Projector - I'm going with Sony Screen - I haven't decided yet DVD/Blu Ray - Pioneer Vinyl - Technics My worry is that once I close everything up I'll have missed running some wires and then I'm screwed.

    Projector for TV + Movie viewing
