i just purchased a panasonic bluray dmpbd60 i have a pioneer vsx-1014tx and a hewlett packard pl5060 ,please dont laugh,my first born is due the 27th ,ok heres how i got my connections ,hdmi cable from bluray to tv and a optical cable from blu ray to reciever......im going crazy with all the remotes!!!! cant get the freakin thing to learn !!!......for whateva reason the volumne is not so high ....any suggestions on how to install it properly?

If the receiver does not have HDMI inputs, then you have it connected the best way already. HDMI cable from player to TV, fiberoptic cable from player to receiver. Make sure in the player's "Digital Audio Output" setting, you have both Dolby Digital and DTS set to "bitstream" (not PCM).

If all those remotes are driving you crazy, I would recommend getting a universal remote like a Logitech Harmony. With that you can set up simple activities which power up multiple components and allow you to control multiple devices easily from a single remote.

And I'm not sure how your first born child relates to this discussion, but I hope all goes well with that!
