can I use "not for In-wall use" marked wire for my Home theater setup?

I know it sounds stupid to ask this question as the lable on the wire says not for In-wall installation.
I am finishing my basement and I asked my contractor to use 12 AWG wire for my 7.1 hometheater system. He installed 12 guage wire bought from Lowes, but When I saw " Not for in-wall use" on the lable I questioned the contractor and he says he always uses that kind of wire. But I didn't agree with him. I asked him to buy a wire that is suitable for in-Wall install.

he went and bought Monster cable from best buy which is versy expensive. I would like to know if it is Okay to leave the cable I got? Please suggest. I need to decide by evening.

If you think I shouldn't use the wire marked not ofr in-wall install, please suggest me for what markings I need to look for on the label.
thanks

You must use CL rated wire for in wall use. If you do not and your house catches fire, the ins. company can deny the claim. Codes vary by region but you should use the right wire. Home Depot has CL3 14 awg wire that is very inexpensive.

Thank you

Thank you Greg, your reply helps me a lot. Now I can sleep with peace of mind and I will buy the CL3 wire from home depot.

Nope, my Mits is a DLP. Look at the link under my signature to see the pictures of my gear.
