[color=#000000]This is 2013 model player that was rarely used. probably only played about 5 discs. has been sitting unused for probably 6 years. I connected it up to the tv and when turned it on, the CEC function (anynet+) turned on the TV. it flashes on TV "samsung smart blu ray player". The HDMI2 indicator changes to HDMI-CEC 720x480. So it is being recognized. But then says HDMI2 no signal Check source. I tried different input jacks on TV. Tried different HDMI cable. nothing. then connected different source using same cable connected to HDMI2 and works fine. So it isn't cable, isn't HDMI port. I tried resetting player by hitting the stop button for 5 seconds and the display on player showed INIT for initialize. something did flash on tv, but it was fast and I don't know what it said? then gone and says check source again. tried unplugging, although I think it has been unplugged for years. tried using wired LAN to see if maybe something would update, but from manual looks like you go on menu to update. But since nothing shows on tv there is no menu. Any help appreciated.[/color]

I am getting ready to drywall my basement ceiling. In that basement I have an entertainment system with speaker wire running from it, up the wall and thru the wall to speakers mounted outside. I am trying to think ahead in that what if we decide to move the entertainment system to a different wall in the future. I could run speaker wire from the new location over to the existing wire at the top of the wall in the current location, and splice it into the existing wiring. I'm thinking this will work without too much problem. Thoughts?
