Maybe I should elaborate:

I just got an onkyo receiver 7.1 channel with 7 speakers that I want to install in the walls without any wires showing

The TV is a 58 inch Samsung Plasma 3d and I got with it the 3d DVD Player.

I want to mount the TV where my previous Vizio was mounted and have all the receiver boxes in a closet so I don't see any receiver units as they are tucked away in a closet. I know how to connect everything as I bought already the 1.4 Version HDMI Cables required along with the ethernet cable to connect the TV to the internet. I just need someone to run the HDMI cables to where I want along with the speaker wires cleanly.

ok...are the speakers wall mounts and do you have access to the attic space or crawlspace to drill? That's just the speakers.

now...from the closet to the TV location are they walls that back each other? You need to run an HDMI cable through the wall to the TV location from your receiver...possibly two...or composite cables.

You'll require an RF remote system so that you can control everything but be out of sight.

There's lots of planning to go into it to do it right. Figure out the placement of the speakers...start there. You can do it yourself if you have the tools.

Doh...didn't read all the way... HDMI cables are a PITA to run through existing walls. How far does it need to run and what area access do you have?

And a personal recommendation from me. Has done work in my home, and he has been doing this for a long time and is good at what he does. Answers the phone for follow ups if you have any questions too and will come back out and help you if you have any other problems at no charge. Hard to get that kind of service nowadays.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
