Best sound set up for Panasonic BD10?

[Henrymouni]

Please can you tell me what the best sound set up is for my Panasonic BD10 Blu-Ray?
It is connected to my Panasonic TH-37PV500B TV by a HDMI cable.
The TV is connected to a Sony STR-DB830 sound system by? well there are 2 plugs, one White and one Red, plugged into the 'audio out' at the back of the TV, and they go directly into the Sony sound system.
The Sony has 4 speakers and it seems to have:-
5.1 Channel
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Digital
D.T.S

I don't know about 'bitstream' or 'PCM' so an help will be greatly appreciated.

Is that the only connections you have? Try optical or coax between the BD10 and the Sony.

Or even better use the 5.1/7.1 analog between the BD10 and the sony. Then pick PCM and you could enjoy full audio quality.

Thanks Zinn,
How do you set to 5.1 analog?
I am not very knowlegeable about this stuff yet.

Zinn,
I tried an optical cable, as you suggested, and it is excellent!!

Many thanks,

Henry.
