The factory installed the Blu-ray DVD player in a cabinet above the kitchen sink. Cabinet space that my wife needed. The cables HDMI cable was 10' long and excess was bundled in the cabinet.
I built a rack for the Satellite receiver and Blu-ray DVD player that attaches to the TV wall mount.
A better idea yet, - digitizing DVD/BD and runnning it off mini-PC hidden behind the TV or another place where you don't need to get to it. With RF remote.
