The Kenwood has an optical input and runs DTS.

No multi-channel analog?

Yes,but I always assumed that the optical handled everything.

I use the projector for outdoor movies in the summer. Now that fall is here,I bring the brightness down considerably

Optical is fine for dolby digital or dts, but it can't handle the hd audio codes. The two players I listed previously can internally decode both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA and send them to the receiver using analog cables. This will give you much better sound that DVD's are capable of.

So, in general it is better to use seperate RCA cables for each channel?

Yes, if the Bluray player can decode DolbyTrueHD and DTS-MA HD, it will give you a much more active listening experience because the sound isn't compressed (this generally means that your surrounds will be much more active and crisp/clear).
