Component Wall Mount
Does the length of HDMI cable matter?
How far can you stretch your HDMI wiring that sends high bandwidth video signals without experiencing some degradation of HDTV quality. We want to put our components in a nearby closet instead of directly underneath the wall mounted TV. We estimated about 15 feet.
Basically, a digital signal either works or it doesn't ... you don't get gradual degradation with distance as with analog.
HDMI CAN work up to 100 ft or so, but ONLY with careful design and top quality cables.
At short distance (<10 ft) cable quality is more an issue of physical construction than anything else. At longer distances it's more a matter what distance it fails at. At 15 feet you are getting into a length that cable design/quality does matter.
Read the articles at the links for more info.
There are many good sources, but many people seem to find the cables from Blue Jeans Cables to offer good quality and reasonable prices. The HDMI 1.3 Category 2 cables form Monoprice (See Link 3) are another option at a bit lower price. In no case do you need to consider the expensive brands like Monster.
I hope that helps.

If you are looking for a high quality home theater system that will not break the piggy bank, you have a few options. You can of course check the local pawn shops or call in a favor at the local electronics store. You can also find great deals online and we are going to look at one of those deals today - the Nakamichi Soundspace 8.5 Home Theater System.
The Nakamichi Soundspace 8.5 Home Theater System has proven to be one of the best home theater systems you can get within the price and power range. You of course know if you are ready to fork over more cash then you will usually get a better preforming home theater system. In many cases this is not necessary however because of the way that you wish to use your system. If you do not want to rattle windows and bring down the house you can get away with buying a system that is considerably cheaper and you do not have to worry about distortion. If you are wanting to rattle the house and have a rocking party this system might give you a little distortion - that depends on how much you want to rattle.
This system is loaded with tons of cool features and I am sure you will have fun learning all of the tricks this baby can do:
Features include:
* DVD/CD player
* Top-loading mechanism design
* DVD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3 playback
* Center channel crossover and power amplifier
* Internal circuits configuration
* Active high pass filter for center speaker

* Headphones output
* 135W maximum output power (15W x 5 satellites, 30W x 2 subwoofers)
* 5-channel satellite speaker system

* Subwoofers measure 9-1/16 inches wide x 20-1/16 inches high x 9-5/8 deep
Like I said... quite a list! The most important thing that you need to think about is not what other people need and how their reviews are but you want to think of what the features are of the system and what you need for your own home theater system. Others may require different features than you so make sure you check carefully before you buy. All in all this system is a good choice if you are not wanting to make your wallet thin but you want to get some good sound.
