Well, first make sure you don't inadvertently have the "mute" control on your DVD player turned to the "on" position. Does it work on HDMI 1 or 2? Play with it a bit. Connect it to other TV HDMI inputs and see what happens. Obviously, the video is getting through, just not audio. HDMI inputs on your TV carry both (unless there is a problem with one of them), as does the HDMI output on your Blue ray. Also, make sure the HDMI OUTPUT from your DVD is connected to the HDMI INPUT of your TV.
SOURCE: Need help hooking up TV, BluRay, Home Theatre & cable box
I found that since the Panasonic TH50PZ80U TV has only 2 HDMI ports on the back of the TV, the best solution for me was to use component (red, blue, green) cables to connect the Home Theatre to the TV. I suppose I/you could connect the home theatre to the HDMI port on the front panel, but I don't want cables hanging out the front of the TV (personal preference). Unfortunately, I am no longer able to use the VIERA Link functionality available by connecting all Panasonic components to each other using HDMI cables, but I feel it's a small price to pay for the incredible picture quality acheived by using the HDMI cable to connect the HD Cable Box to the TV. I may yet be able to control everything using the HD Cable Box remote, but I haven't gotten that far yet but I've got Comcast coming on Saturday and hopefully they can let me know if this is possible: let me know if you have a solution.
So here are the components and the cable types used to connect:
I hope this helps someone else.

Yes, you can connect the HDMI Cable from the Blu-ray Player to the TV directly and then, connect the Digital Optical cable from the Blu-ray Player to the Receiver.
