I appreciate you guys help and again its probably my fault that I'm not doing the best job in the world articulating my system. I have HD Ready TV and use component cables to connect my TV to the HD receiver supplied by the cable company. My receiver has a progressive scan DVD player built in. Right now I have the DVD picture connected by S video cable. The sound coming from the DVD is from the receivers speakers connected by speaker wire. As an aside the sound coming from Tv programs is connected by analogue RCA cables from my TV monitor output to my receiver TV audio in- I get for some reason better TV sound using cheap RCA cables then much better cable.

The one thing I've picked up on is that I should connect my DVD picture to the TV by a component cable.
