Yes you can. If you have more than 1 HDMI sources and your old system only has 1 HDMI in, you may want to invest in an HDMI switch. They are inexpensive (under $20 on Amazon) and let you choose 4 HDMI sources to feed your system. The audio is embedded in HDMI and you may have to select the choices (surround versus stereo) when you play the disc.
Need more specifics. What TV do you have? If you just want to hook up the blueray, you can use an HDMI cable from DVD to TV, or red-blue-green component video cables, or red-white-yellow cables.
?? Blu-ray needs a Blu-ray player. If you have a regular DVD connected now, you will need a Blu-ray player connected the same way, through Component cables or with HDMI if this model has that.
Optical carries only 5.1 sound, no video. HDMI carries both video and sound. If your receiver doesn't have HDMI, check your TV for optical output. You can go BluRay to TV via HDMI, then TV to receiver via optical.
If you don't have optical out on your tv, you're going to need either a receiver with HDMI or a BluRay player with component output (blue, green, red).
When you say disk will not play I assume the BRD player does not start playing.
If the Blue ray unit does not start at all and stays in stand by , then the HDMI cable you are using to connect to TV, or HDMI port on TV may be defective. Try replacing cable and swapping HDMI ports.
You can try out by connecting the CVBS (Yello) out from player to TV and connect HDMI out from Player to TV. Goto CVBS input on Sony TV. Select set up and you should get the HDMI Video options availble. Try to change the resulution and check for Video on HDMI source.
Which disc you were playing PAL or NTSC? PAL should work for Europe.
See if oyu can buy a HDMI selector box, does the sound system have a dvd player in it? IF so I would go with S-video instead of hdmi, save the HDMI for the blue ray player. What is the very first item you have listed up there? PAnasonic what? LEt me know, hope this helps.
