well from the 35 you only have optical so that is what you will need to use. so no HD sound for you.

if you are talking about from your TV again no HD sound so whatever cable you have to hand.

To be honest with you, the biggest plus for me with Bluray is the amazing HD sound. Sure, the picture is amazing but you are sort of expecting that part. I would look at selling your BD player and getting the Sony S550. You can get them for £220 now and you could connect it to your older receiver via three pairs of analogue cables and get HD audio. HDMI from screen to BD player would complete your set up and no need to upgrade your receiver.
