I'd suggest hooking a toslink optical cable up to the receiver and let it perform DTS and Dolby Digital decoding. Those chips inside the player are rudimentary at best for DTS and Dolby Digital.

Hook the 6 channel analog cords to your receiver's 6 channel analog bypass for DVD-Audio only.

Does your TV not accept a component video connection? If it does, you do want to use component video and not S-Video for the best possible picture quality.

If you're looking for some quality audio cables and don't want to spend a huge amount, I'd suggest going over to Outlaw Audio's website and checking out their line of interconnects. They use combo silver dipped/high quality copper wires with good shielding. Looks like good stuff for the money. If you have your player on a shelf directly under your receiver (don't stack them!), 1/2 meter audio cables should do the trick and you won't have to spend as much money (plus, the shorter the cord, the better).
