I need help with my set up, PLEASE

Hello,
My riend recommended that I post this question here. First of all here are my components and speakers.
Processor - Sunfire Theater II
Amp - Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature
Speakers- Martin Logan Ascents, Theater and Descent Sub
DVD- Dennon 5900
TV- SONY kp 57 wv600
Here is my problem and questions.
First of all I need help with the DVI connection from the DVD player to the TV. What kind of cable do I need? Also should I use the 6 channel cable output on the DVD player to the Processor and why? Also I need some recomendations for cables. I am looking at new speaker cables and inter-connects. One of the lines I am looking at is Nordost Blue Heaven and also Signal Cable (not the silver res). I am also very open to suggestion w/o breaking the bank for cost. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

You need a DVI cable. Audioquest makes them, as do others. You should use the 6-channel analog output mainly to play DVD-Audio discs. Most DVD-Audio discs (maybe all of them?) have a Dolby 5.1 layer as well as the high resolution DVD-Audio layer. You can only play the Dolby layer if you do not connect the 6 analog outputs from the DVD player to the processor.
Coincidentally, I just posted a pair of Nordost Blue Heaven 2 meter speaker cables for sale. Good cables. I think Nordost is more highly regarded for speaker cable than for interconnects. Signal cable also makes good speaker cables and interconnects.

Cheers.
