Your best bet is to block off the area. I actually had to buy new furniture to accomplish that. Sometimes you just need to rearrange what you already have, maybe move a movie rack next to it to block it off? You can also get plastic tubes to cover the wires but a more tenacious rabbit can get through those. Hardware stores carry a metal version of these, but it might not be the best for the bunny's teeth. Another option is to tack the wires to the wall using those plastic and nails things. It won't stop the bunny from chewing but it may make them less temping. You can also try bitter apple spray but some rabbits actually like the taste of it. Spaying/ neutering may also help with the rabbits behavior if you haven't done that already. I hope this helps, if none of these work you will have to cage your little buddy until you can supervise it.

Try rubbing a bar of Ivory soap on the wires. Bitter Apple spray or Tabasco sauce may also work, but the soap has some success. Otherwise if you can keep him out of that area, or even take PVC pipe and put around the wires, that might work. PVC seems to be the most effective deterrent.

There's probably no way from stopping a bunny from chewing things like wood and or cables but you can protect your bunny by buying 1 inch to two inch plastic tube and put your cable wires in it you decide how long the tube should be.

My sister did this with dogs, but it would work for cats, rabbits, any pet. She mixed Louisiana Hot Sauce and Tabasco Hot Sauce with a little water and used a brush to paint the wires to her stuff. When they chewed the wires, they got the hot sauce in their mouth and when they licked their paws they got it on their paws, too. She withheld their drinking water a few minutes while they got the message. It worked.

Tape the wires to the wall and place the ones running from things to the wall inside a PVC tube so they can not be chewed on.

Since rabbits love to chew you need to "bunny proof" your house. Unless you wanted fried/smoked bunny, you need to get something to put the wires into that will protect them such as a PVC tube or sorts. Or keep them up out of Bunny's reach.

Rub soap (it obviously can't be wet) on the wires. If the bunny trys chewing them he won't like tha taste and will stop without being harmed.

Forbid Bunney (your wife, presumably) from going behind the TV. And keep her well fed!

I heard the other day that rubbing vick's on something would keep a cat away, I wonder if that would work for you? "course then you'd have that delightful vapor rub smell eminating from behind your tv--;)--sweetbob's idea of a fence isn't too bad--how 'bout upgrading that to a little picket fence, painted for your decor, they're not too expensive at like home depot, garden center, borders section--wood or plastic about 10-12 inches high. could be a nice decorative touch.
