Each input on a receiver can have it's own preferences (settings). My guess is that if you have a two channel analog input and have surround sound, you have on an artificial setting to mimic a multi-channel source. If your TV's output is just a two channel out and you want the same thing, do the the following.
Turn your receiver to the tuner input and see what setting it is on (what effect is employed). Then, go back to the TV input on the receiver and change your sound setting to match that. Now, I should say that each input may sound better with different settings/effects, which is why they allow different settings for each input. But doing that, will give you a starting point.
On the other hand, the receiver is likely choosing a digital multi-channel setting for the bluray, as it has a multi-channel signal coming thru the HDMI or optical cables.
Some receivers aren't all that intuitive when it comes to changing the sound settings/ effects, that's when you pull out the manual.
If it's too loud, you're too old!!!

this sounds strange, but is true. you need to run your digital audio optical cable from your tv to your receiver (after, of course, connecting tv/receiver via hdmi). so, hdmi from blue ray to rec - hdmi from rec to tv - then optical from tv back to rec. it's round about, but that is how yamaha says (and the only way it works) to do it.

I have a Samsung Blu Ray HT BD 1252 home cinema. This is a replacement for an identical which just stopped working after four weeks. This one is now two weeks old and will occasionally be reluctant to load a disc, recently seven attempts and and forty minutes of loading / unloading etc. It now pixelates or partial picture freeze for a second or two on every BD that we have or rent, yet plays DVDs perfectly. I have tried brand new, sealed BD discs with no luck. Any ideas before I return it to the supplier for a refund?

BD and DVR hooked up to the receiver and from the receiver to the TV right? If yes: Your receiver set to pass sound trough to the TV, if you want sound from the home theater setting has to be changed.

As per HTR-6230 specifications (http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=5028494&CTID=5000400&ATRID=1020&DETYP=ATTRIBUTE) the HDMI function is only "audio-passthru", which means your receiver is not able to get the audio from HDMI cable, it can only pass it forward to TV. You would need a receiver with "HDMI switch" to be able to listen to audio via HDMI cable. You can find such receiver by looking if it supports TrueHD audio (which can be transferred ONLY via HDMI cable).
With your current receiver, you can connect it to the Blue-ray player via Optical SPDIF cable. I have checked the specs and both receiver and BD player supports optical connection.

If you're expecting multichannel sound FROM THE TV instead of from the source you're watching, it's not gonna happen. TV's are notoriously poor sound sources. This one is no different.
Multichannel TV-related audio is best found at its source - cable / sat / dvd / bd....
I run video-related audio from my video sources directly to my TV and their audio directly to my receiver. Specialization yields best results.
I'd recommend skipping the Receiver for video, too, as it adds a lot of opportunity for HDMI-related incompatibilities and sound syncing problems. The more interconnects in the path, the more distorted it will become and the more opportunities for problems. Plus you can bypass the receiver and listen to lo-fi programming like news and weather through the TV's speakers if you like. Save a buck on electricity.
Just curious, which HDMI on the receiver is connected to your TV? Input or Output?
This note is on Page 11 of the manual:
Audio signals input at the HDMI jack are not output from any speaker terminals but output from the connected video monitor. To enjoy the sound from speakers connected to this unit,
-- make an analog or digital connection besides the HDMI connection (see page 13).
-- mute the volume on the connected video monitor
================
"Check SP cable." -- The unit is perceiving a short circuit. Are your speaker impedances sufficiently high? Disconnect the Front Right speaker and try raising the volume again. The speaker may be blown or the cable shorting.
