In the end I ran the HDMI from the blu-ray to the amp and out from the amp  
to the TV which is what Denon said was the optimum configuration.  Optical  
cable is 5 times more expensive than HDMI and not stocked at the  
supermarket.
 
I still have some reading to do on the massive instruction book

If you  can avoid running the HDMI through the amp, do so.  The Monitor and 
 
the Blue Ray Player have to "shake hands" so to speak.  Occasionally,  when 
there is an intermediary, the signal is lost.  The TV will flash  a warning 
message and will go black.  What is happening, is that the  TV thinks you 
are 
trying to duplicate the signal, ie burn your own dvd, or  save a copy to a 
hard drive, or view on more than one screen at a time,  all of which are 
violations of the copy right on the dvd.  The DVD  player should have a 
digital optical audio output.  If your new amp  has this capability, use 
the 
HDMI for the video signal only, running  straight to the TV, and run the 
optical digital cable for the audio  channel straight to the amp.
