What's the best way to fish wires from the top receptacle (behind TV) to the bottom receptacle (AV equip)? Just dangle from top?

There may be better ways, but what's worked for me is to take a stiff wire (like the thickness of a coat hangar) and duct tape the wire i'm trying to snake to the tip of it. Then snake this down from the upper receptacle until it becomes visible at the bottom. If you have insulation in the walls this can complicate things and may require you to stick your arm up - from the bottom receptacle if possible. Good luck...

Leave the bottom plate out. Feed the wires from the top through the installed plate/outlet. There should only be 12 to 16 inches between the wall studs so if you cut the hole for the bottom plate, you'll be able to see the wires hanging down in the wall. Fish them through the plate and then install the plate.

Feeding the wires from the top is the most effective way. When you start feeding it in, take notice of how long of a run you have between the top and bottom boxes, and how far you have fed the wires in until they are at or past the bottom box. It is easiest to remove the bottom box so you have the widest access to the bottom drywall opening. At that time use a flashlight and reach in to locate the bottom of the wire (careful to not touch any potentially dangerous wires that may exist in the wall) and pull through the opening, then replace any boxes previously removed for access.

Tie a big nut or bolt to a string and let it fall through. If there is insulation involves you may need to fish something more ridged through. Once it is through then tape cables needed to the string. Hope this helps.

We did, we installed outlet in adjoining closet and used extension cord. We used a GIF outlet. Good luck.

From your AV reciever, use an HDMI from the TV-out slot to the TV HDMI slot that supports ARC. It will say ARC below the port you are looking for. You may have to program your reciever to recognize HDMI-ARC (check your owners manual) but this will send all audio from the TV to your reciever using only the one HDMI cable. This reduces cables and will do exactly what you are asking.

This is the way to do it.I have one in my bedroom and for the price/space/no wires I am very happy with it.

recheck you instructions for hooking up cables. Your video is not inserted in the right outlet.

Pull from the bottom, it takes quite a bit of force so be careful not to tug the front I/O cables.

You just unscrew it at the base and pull it back through the top. The extra wire will just stay up inside the base when you mount it.

Yes i found the wire that comes with the system just fine. If your setup needs a longer wire, then that may be a reason to invest in a thicker one, otherwise there is too much hype even in AVS forums about the wire.

The "channels" behind the vertical support are the channels where the wires are supposed to go to hide them from view. The problem is that these channels are too small for the cables. A regular power cord is too large for these channels so therefore a AV cable will fit bot not multiple cables or the power cords.

I still used a surge protector to plug my TV; this unit only runs a cord behind the wall, you connect your TV to one end and the other end to the surge protector.

do you have any room to slide it up or down at all? do that and fish the cable thru. I wouldn't prying it off as it might break.

Well the best way is tru Hdmi in put direct to your LED TV, But also tru the dvr hdmi input,I use a hdmi to vga adapter it wont degenerate the video too much. Also you can buy hdmi splitter is the best way your USB you can use it to power in your Rikomagic.

The kit comes with an extension cable that connects both ends of the outlet. That cable is approved for running behind the wall. Your "power cables" would remain outside the walls. The one from the TV goes into the top outlet and a separate power cable goes from your electrical box to the bottom outlet.

Pull the wire through the bottom so the extra becomes the cord to the wall.

Not easy; I used a very small copper wire to fish it thru. Thread might led it thru.

Not sure what you are trying to do there. A wall plate wouldn't cover it, but the connections are in the back so you can't see them anyway. I have mine set up under my TV and the wires all come from behind it so they're out of view.
