your dvd player will output sound on the analog outputs and digital at the same time. You need to change that in your reciever depending on what source you want. Personally I would hook it up the way i explained in the first post rather than go HDMI to the tv then optical from the tv to the reciever. But if it works do whatever you like

It might be the only way though because I dont know if you will be able to output digital audio on HDMI and toslink/coax on the dvdp
