Disk unit and disk unit-integrated television

An LCD television in which a cable is fixed firmly with no possibility of loosening and the rigidity of its cabinet is enhanced. In the cabinet composed of a front cabinet and a rear cabinet, the cable extended from a speaker is passed through latch ribs in a zigzag manner on a cable path on the inside of a front wall of the front cabinet. When the front cabinet and the rear cabinet are joined, the latch ribs are engaged with latch rib receptacles. As a consequence, the cable is firmly fixed on the cable path and never comes off the latch ribs. The latch ribs engaged with the latch rib receptacles also function as reinforcement ribs to increase the rigidity of the television cabinet which constitutes an LCD television.
