Trailing leads

Good morning,

we just (yesterday) purchased a BVD-E290 system - and in almost all respects it is excellent - except for one: we have an open plan, solid floor (as in tiled) where, for a previous Sony Home Cinema system, we had hidden the speaker cables bedins skirtings and under sills terminating in mini-phono plugs to enable the rear speakers to traverse the 24 feet from front to back without cables being highly visible.

The speaker cables delivered with the new sustem terminate in a patent Sony connection.  Is there a way, apart from cutting and soldering into phonos - is there a plug that has either socket and tails or...

Your help would be appreciated.

Hi,

many people have fallen short with this kind of system and it usually falls to the same thing of cutting and splicing extra cable to it, Sony naturally dont condone this but in most cases its the only way, however if you feel you have enough you could try the plastic trunking alternative to hide the cabling round the skirting etc.

Maplins or such like is a good place to soarce speaker cable terminals and plugs :wink:

Thanks - I have already run cable from the front to the back behind skirting and have wired in phono sockets, so it loks like its going to be the cut and splice method - ta.
