Yes, use the audio output of your tv and connect it to the receiver.

The DVD player's audio output goes to the receiver (optical,digital or analog).

The DVD player's video output connects to the TV's video input.

Depends on the output of your DVD player.
If you are using the digital output from your DVD player...connect it directly to the receiver.

If you want to hear the audio on your TV from your DVD player without turning on the receiver, connect the analog (L/R) output of your DVD player to the TV's audio inputs.

Sorry lopro...satellite receivers are not my thing.

I think some people connect the SPDIF to the receiver.

S/PDIF (Also SPDIF) Sony/Philips Digital Interface, a standard audio file transfer format. Developed jointly by Sony and Philips, S/PDIF allows the transfer of digital audio signals from one device to another without having to be converted first to an analogue. This prevents the quality of the digital signal degrading during transfer to analogue.

lopro, your receiver must be equipped with an s/pdif input. The AV receiver will then decode the digital audio being output by the sat receiver into stereo or surround, depending on what audio the specific channel is generating.

Component cables, Monster or otherwise, carry video only.
