I just looked up your receiver and saw that it does not offer HDMI Inputs?

What kind of Blu-Ray Player are you using and how is it connected to your receiver? Are you using a Coaxial Cable or an Optical Cable?

What I did see is that your Yamaha RX-V757 does offer 7.1 Multi-Channel/Analogue Audio Inputs, you can easily get HD Sound by using these inputs, however you need a Stand Alone Blu-Ray Player that has 7.1 Multi-Channel/ Analogue Audio Inputs, and onboard decoding for
Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Audio. Since you have a 5.1 System, the Blu-Ray Player will downmix any 7.1 Signal to a 5.1 Signal.

You can can easily connect a Blu-Ray Player to your Yamaha RX-V757 with this method and enjoy the wonderful HD Sound.
