<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Hello all</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I've just made my first foray into the large screen TV world and
am looking for some advice on various topics relating to it.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I'm going to be mounting the TV using a Sanus VLL5 bracket, onto a
wet plastered Thermalite block wall.</P>
<P>So no dot and dab cavities to worry about, but I am concerned
about fixing the bracket into a Thermalite block.</P>
<P>The Sanus bracket is a USA product and the only two wall types
covered in the instructions are timber stud and solid concrete
blocks.</P>
<P>The supposedly UK based support for Sanus is based in Holland and
they were about as much use as a chocolate teapot.</P>
<P>They hadn't heard of aerated concrete blocks and were unable to
offer any advice.</P>
<P>I've web browsed and there seems to be a lot of recommendations
for the Rigifix product, if anybody here has used those?</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I contacted an aerated block manufacturer's technical support and
they advised against using any form of expanding fixing in a lightweight
block.</P>
<P>So it looks like I am back to using the Sanus supplied 10mm
diameter plastic "Rawlplug fixings, unless anybody has any better
ideas?</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Next comes the problem of feeding power and all the other
ancillary cables to the rear of the TV.</P>
<P>I am lucky in that the wall that I am mounting the TV on is an
internal cavity wall, that was created to lose a "foul"
pipe.</P>
<P>I can therefore cut a suitably sized hole behind the TV and fish
all the cables that I need, diagonally down through the cavity, a distance
of approx. 1.5m.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>But what type of box or outlet to put in the wall to feed the
cables to, any recommendation or advice is welcome?</P>
<P>Again I've done some searching and come up with this product,
which would seem to do pretty much what I want, albeit at a fancy
price.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><A href="http://www.sync-box.com/recessed-outlet/";>http://www.sync-box.com/recessed-outlet/</A></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I want to mount any AV equipment remotely in a Node/Store room on
the first floor and I envisage that an AV amp and PVR would be located
about 6m from the TV.</P>
<P>From the web browsing that I've done, I shouldn't have any
problems using HDMI cables over that distance.</P>
<P>I was&nbsp;wondering whether to utilise the Digital Audio
Output (optical) or stick with the HDMI output for audio and having done
some web browsing, I can't see any advantage to be gained by using the
optical output, especially as the cables seem to be&nbsp;critically
length limited.</P>
<P>A Blu-ray player will have to be Wi-Fi connected to give me the
best options on placement within the room.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Any comments on the above would be much appreciated</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Many thanks</P>
