HDMI wiring questions?

Mar 20, 2006 2 Replies

I am in the planning stages of a home theater. My plan was to purchase a high end video receiver e.g. Yamaha VSX72TXV and hook in my cable box, dvd/vcr and run a hdmi cable to the plasma on the other side of the room. I have 2 questions concerning the wiring. Is it possible to run 50+ foot hdmi cable from the receiver to the tv without loosing quality. I also planned to run it along side some electrical wiring, and was wondering if it would interfere with the hmdi signal.



Also any experiences on the Yamaha receiver or a similar quality brand.



Thanks in Advance,



Brad



Hi Brad What other choice do you have? I think the HDMI specification is silent on length. I've heard opinions that 30' is max. Don't know why they'd say that. www.monoprice has 50 footers. As to interference I guess that's what sheilding is all about. Maybe this is where good vs crappy cabling kicks in. good luck
