Any of those. If it accepts a digital coax signal, then the extra coax cable will fill this need with an RCA termination. Otherwise you can just use two of the component video cables for a stereo audio feed without an issue. CAT5 is possible to use, but would require other components.

Why would you need to send audio to the TV?

You could use two of the three component video cables for analog audio if using the existing wiring is your only option.

So what your saying is that I can use one of the extra coxial cables to get sound. The other thing I did'nt mention is that all of the equipment is in a seperate media closet.

From your other thread about subwoofers, it looks like you have a bunch of coax cables (either RG-59 or RG6, hard to tell) and a few pair of 16/2 or 16/4 speaker wires (white jacket).

As Jaxvon said, you can terminte any of those coax cables with RCA connectors or terminate them with the standard F-pin connector and use male F-pin to female RCA adapters.

If you have all the a/v equipment in a closet, I would assume all audio connections go to a receiver in that closet. Therefore, you have no need to get the audio to the TV itself. If all the equipment is in the same location, you can connect everything directly and the only cable run to the TV will be for video. If the other non-visible wires in the picture are indeed terminated with RCA connectors for component video, use them for video; otherwise terminate the coax with RCA and use those.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion. The thread pertaining to audio to the plasma is in a different room where I won't be using any surround sound just the existing speakers on the plasma. I have the same cables available to me minus the one pair of speaker wires from the picture. I understand the component will give me the picture but I also need some type of connection to run the sound. Once again the cable box and other equipment will be in a seperate room media closet.
