I don't know how much you paid for the Sony ... but they have the Onkyo TX-SR605 online for $469.99 and that will get Audio/Video thru HDMI ... and also is a 7.1 instead of the 5.1 (Sony)

You can keep the Sony (if it was a good deal) ... but you have to use an optical or coaxial cable to get the audio ... What I don't like when you connect the DVD, SAT, etc. to the receiver is that you always have to turn on the receiver if you want to watch something (even TV) ... that's why I always connect everything to the TV (audio/video) and just the audio to receiver, so I can choose if I want to use the receiver or not.. ... if you want to do it that way, just connect the HDMI to TV and the optical/coax to receiver
