Hey congratulations on getting the new gear.
Ok its best to hook the components cables from the DVD directly to the TV. The fewer connections you have to go through the better. Then hook the digital audio (optical or coax) from the DVD to the receiver. Also hook the audio out from the TV to the receiver if you want to listen to regular TV through your new speakers instead of the TV speakers.
I didnt realize that receiver had the on-screen menu but yes you can use cheap cables for that. My receiver doesnt have the on-screen display so I cant give you any more info on that. I'm sure someone else can though.
