The HDMI connection to the receiver from the equipment carries the audio.

This is done with Speaker wires connected from the respective Speaker output terminals on the AVR to the +Red/-Black connectors on each respective speaker.

Optical cables carry the digital Audio signals between two digitial devices. (i.e. DVD player to the AVR)

HDMI cables carry the digital Video and the digital Audio signals between to digital audio/video devices. (i.e. the HD DVD player to the AVR)

Speaker cables (generally copper based) carry the analog Audio from the receiver/amplifier (AVR) to the Speakers. (i.e. the Left front, Right front, Center, Sub Woofer & L+R surround speakers)

Check out the

Cables & Connections section for more details on AV cable hook up solutions or issues.
