Thanks all.
I did a little investigating and before I read the responses on the forum today and Gonk hit it on the head....Blue Jeans Cable. I can get a 35' run of quality cable from Blua Jeans at a very reasonable price.
Forgive me but I do not know if I made myself clear in my post but as of now I have everything hooked up with the optical cables and component. Also I use MIT Terminator cables to the mains and center. I do not intend to change anything until I get the 997.
Everything looks and sounds great...but we always strive for the premium quality in audio and video. I just wanted to know with the 997 if for cd decoding and listening should I continue to use optical or change to coax for better reproduction of sound? Hope that the Outlaws put some thought into the 997 for people who listen to music.
The projector will be HDMI.

Thanks again!
