Connecting my home theather system…HELP!!!?

Good day everyone. I am currently revamping my theater system and I am wondering how best to connect all of this together. Here is the list:
1) 50″ Panasonic plasma with 2 HDMI connectors, 1 optical, 2 component, 1 S-Video
2) Samsung BP-1600 Blue Ray player with 1 HDMI, 1 component, 1 optical, and 1 analog audio
3) Comcast cable HD/DVR box with HDMI connection, component, optical
4) Yamaha RX-V765 Receiver and speakers with a bunch of HDMI connections and everything else.

hook up comcast box to tv using hdmi cable the blu ray to the tv using hdmi cable connect the receiver to the blue player WITH AN OPTICAL CABLE NOT AN HDMI CABLE DOLBY DIGITAL SOUNDS FAR BETTER TRUST ME IM A PROJECTIONIST then the receiver to the comcast box using standard analog cables save some money on another hdmi cable and just program them to the comcast remote no dd does not support 7.1 but as far as wanting crisp clear sound go with dd in my opinion the two extra channels are useless you’d have a much better experience with 5.1 digital

Optical audio connection to home theater receiver?

My new Toshiba HDTV has an Optical Audio Out to carry the audio to my receiver. My older Sony home theater receiver has an Optical jack labeled “Video 2 In”. I’m assuming that I can connect these two to take get the surround sound from off-air HDTV broadcast signals that I’m receiving on the Toshiba using an antenna. Can anyone verify that for me?

Yes, that should work…as long as the Video 2 in is in fact an optical jack. You would just need to set your receiver to the Video 2 setting in order to listen to the broadcast when you turn on your receiver. As far as surround sound, the broadcast that you’re getting from the off-air antenna needs to be broadcast in 5.1, 6.1 etc. and your receiver needs to also be capable of producing it. But overall, you should be good to go.
