Reciever-ness

I was having an argument with my roommate on proper home theater setup when it comes to running audio and video.

Here's the simplified situation:

There's a blu-ray player, and HDTV and an reciever in the setup.

Would the proper wiring be to run HDMI from the blu-ray to the receiver and then the video from the receiver to the tv?

The alternative being running the HDMI to the tv and then running optical audio from the tv to the receiver.

We need resolution. Thanks!

    It really depends on your receiver, but if your receiver is recent and of pretty good quality, all audio/video inputs should go straight to the receiver.

    Running optical audio from the TV to the receiver is generally a bad idea. Better is to run optical audio from the Blu-Ray player to the receiver.
