How can I connect a wii and DVD player to a projector mounted in the ceiling?

We have a home theater in our basement. We would like to have the ability to hook up our DVD player and Wii (or other console) via component cables in one location on the wall near the surround sound system. What is the best way to do this?

I have been looking at component wall plates and component cables. I would like to be able to leave both connected and switch between them. Also, would like for the connection to look nice in the wall while being as cheap as possible.

Thank you!

Look at the 3rd one...




Well, here's some other choices......

But what I don't see is In-Wall switches you walk up to....

I see mostly shelf /rack mounting.....

And if I HAD the choice....I'd go with HDMI and not the lossy Component output cables

Or what I'd do is use a video compensator just AFTER the switch and before the run to the projector....

Where to put DVD player in Home Theater. Under the screen? By the projector?

Hello-I am trying to set up a home theater system. Currently, I have a projector that is hooked up to the ceiling using a mount. I am connecting a DVD player to the Projector to watch movies. Where should I put the DVD player? Underneath the screen? Closer to the projector? Any suggestions will be very helpful. Thank you!

Answer
Because the video cable is more expensive per foot, put the DVD player nearer the projector if possible. A long video cable can send audio to the AV receiver, but this is fairly cheap compared to a long HDMI cable or a HD rated component cable.

Dont forget that the AV Receiver is often the hub of your system. It will want to be near all the devices that feed things to the TV and sound system like:

- the dvd player
- the cable box
- the sat receiver
- the game system

And dont forget network (for game and BluRay updates) and phone (for pay-per-view).

So you might want to consider where the cable/sat/network feeds come in and just locate everything there.
