 My System:
TV - Pioneer PDP-5080HD
AV Rec - Sony STR-DG810
Blu-ray - Sony BDP-S300
Dish Network - ViP722DVR
Apple TV
Wii
Bose Acoustimass 10 Series IV

Question 1:
What is the preferred way to set up a system, run components to the AV Rec with one video output to the TV, or components to the TV with only audio out to the AV Rec?

Question 2:
I am having troubles with my sound from my Blu-ray as well as my Apple TV.  Both components are connected to the AV Rec by HDMI.  I can flip through all of the sound options on the AV Rec and can only hear the main audio track when I am on the "2 Channel" setting on the AV Rec (sometimes I can hear it but it is REALLY quiet).  Do you think I have something set up wrong, or a problem with my AV Rec?  (since both the Blu-ray and Apple TV are having the same issue)

Thanks for any help or insight...
