My 50inch plasma is mounted above the fireplace. The power cord (connects from the back of the plasma to the monster surge) is 6.6 feet long. The manual suggests that I don't use any other power cord except for the one that came with my Pioneer Plasma.
The problem is that the power cord comes out only 3 inches from the wall. I have to push my monster surge protector almost against the wall and all the other cords for AVs are packed behind the wall.
I need to extend the power cord just a little bit more.
Is it safe to add a very short extension cord (about a foot if they have it) to the end of the power cord so I don't have to have my monster surge right up against the wall?
If it is not safe or recommended for the above, would it be safe to plug the cord onto a slim power surge and rest it on the cabinet glass instead of the floor?
Or should I forget the precaution from Pioneer electronics and look for a 7 foot power cord for my plasma?
