i have chased out the wall for my lcd tv, home cinema, etc, and want to know if i can just place the wires in the groove as they are and fill over the top. will they overheat or become damaged?

you should insert a tube (about 3inch diameter) that goes into the wall - now the wires are easily changed if damaged. You then plaster that into the wall & pass the wires through it! Simple but works a treat!!

do no longer use hollow drywall anchors. For this sort of severe load the plasterboard will fail on the fixings. with a bit of luck the plasterboard wall you opt to attach too isn't that twin layer plasterboard with a honeycomb paper indoors that's often used as a non-load bearing partition interior the united kingdom and probable someplace else interior the international too. Its no longer lots that the plasterboard won't be able to assist a 28kg load its greater that its no longer uncomplicated to pass that load so as that it remains interior the plasterboard middle. in spite of in case you be able to realize that feat then you could evaluate a thank you to stabilise the plasterboard so as that unintentional harm marvel and vibration do no longer compromise the burden. Oh and did I point out that if every person leans on the television all that tension would be attempting to tear those hollow fixings out of the plasterboard.. do no longer DO IT!

If it's a solid wall you would be better to cut some PVC mini trunking into the wall,(75 x 25mm or bigger??) then you can remove/add or replace the leads as required, if it's a hollow plasterboard wall, just fish them up the space. DON'T just plaster over the leads!!

yes they will be fine I'm an electrician and do this with electric cable that has a lot more voltage and current going through them (this is the industry standard) the only time i would use anything is in industrial use and then it is only a bit of metal conduit

yes you can but you have to remember there there as in the future you need to drill holes in that area..the wires will be safe in the wall and won't rott in anyway...
good luck.
