All I can say is that's very poor design on someone's part.
The sheet rock walls are going up on Wednesday, forever entombing my connection between my new Pioneer HD plasma monitor and the receiver.
My contractor says all I need to feed the TV signals, whether cable, DVD, S-video, VCR, etc. is the 3 RCA cables. But the monitor has an HDMI connection...
What do I need to connect the TV display to the box the cable company provides (or the receiver?)that will allow use of DVD and video peripherals?
