In the end I ran the HDMI from the blu-ray to the amp and out from the amp
to the TV which is what Denon said was the optimum configuration. Optical
cable is 5 times more expensive than HDMI and not stocked at the
supermarket.
I still have some reading to do on the massive instruction book

If you can avoid running the HDMI through the amp, do so. The Monitor and
the Blue Ray Player have to "shake hands" so to speak. Occasionally, when
there is an intermediary, the signal is lost. The TV will flash a warning
message and will go black. What is happening, is that the TV thinks you
are
trying to duplicate the signal, ie burn your own dvd, or save a copy to a
hard drive, or view on more than one screen at a time, all of which are
violations of the copy right on the dvd. The DVD player should have a
digital optical audio output. If your new amp has this capability, use
the
HDMI for the video signal only, running straight to the TV, and run the
optical digital cable for the audio channel straight to the amp.
