Cut 2 holes in the wall, one behind the TV, the other behind your AVR. You can finish the holes nicely with some boxes at HD or Lowes. Fish the wires down from the top hole to the bottom using a measuring tape (or you could buy a fish tape, but for the short distance a measuring tape will work fine). You can attach the wires to the measuring tape with duct tape. You're all set.......assuming you don't have to cross any studs, if so it's much more complicated than that.

I hope you guys are installing power outlets behind your TV and not running the power cords through the walls! The latter is not approved by code AND if you have a fire (fault of installation or not) and inspection reveals you have non approved wiring inside the wall your insurance claim will likely be rejected.
Exactly. You need to use this (either yourself or through an installer).Originally posted by: Rubycon

I don't understand the fascination with hanging the tv on the wall. Most people put them way too high up as well.

Me either, especially when they place a TV stand with their components directly below it.
