well, the problem was incompatibility between the hdmi interfact of the DVD player and the amp. So I only got Dolby Pro Logic instead of 6 channels. (Though even that sounded good with the Onkyo 805).
As I only use a DVD player at the moment, I am not losing any audio quality. With TrueHD or similar stuff I'd need hdmi for audio, of course. But DD5.1 or DTS sound pretty much the same over optical cable as over hdmi.
For a Blu-Ray player I'll use hdmi again, of course! (Hopefully that one will be compatible).
