I realize this post has been here a while but I thought I would throw something in here anyway. For starters, you don't run audio cables to get a picture. The best audio is sent over either HDMI, Optical, or Digital Coax. Depends on what connections you have and where. You'll get the best video from (Best to worst): HDMI, DVI, Component, S-Video, Composite. Keep in mind, S-Video and Composite can't pass a high def signal.
