I am in the midst of putting an addition on my house. As part of the project I would like to put basic wiring/cabling in the walls for a Family Room Type home theatre (Large screen plasma/LCD Viewing device, surround sound speakers and likely some audio speakers in other rooms). I have a cabinet planned for a rack and equipment. I have not yet selected any equipment, and may not for a bit since budget has become an issue but I want to get wires and cables in the walls since I have the chance.
My questions are:
1) What sort of video cabling should I put in the wall between where the plasma will go and the equipment cabinet? HDMI, multiples others etc. Should i put a 2nd one in as a backup? .... I am planning for some sort of A/V receiver to control/feed it all.
2) What is a good high quality speaker cable to use (again for in wall and speakers will likely go in the ceiling or in the wall)
3) What sort of IR cabling and receiver should I put in so i can control the devices in the cabinet by pointing at the TV.
4) Any other "preconstruction" suggestions from the pros?
5) Any good web sites on basic speaker placement guidelines?
Any help is seriously appreciated.
Thanks.
