Depending on if your surround system has a hdmi input or not. if it does you can connect the blu-ray player to it. If it doesn't have an hdmi input you will have to run the hdmi cable from the blu-ray to the tv then run a set of rca cables (red and white plugs) from the tv audio out to the surround systems' audio input jacks to get sound through the surround system. Most surround systems don't have an auxiliary input for another video device.
If you connect with RCA cables it wont be true surround. There is usually a virtual surround mode setting on the receiver so you will hear sound from all speakers. Now allot of tv's have optical audio out, if so using this output into an optical audio input on the receiver should allow 5.1 surround to pass through.

But will you get 5.1 surround sound if the blu-ray is connected with stereo rca cables?
Just bought a samsung blue ray player and hooked it to my onkyo SR606. Getting no signal.
With many flatscreen TV's, you can plug the DVD directly into the television, and the HDMI cable running from the TV to the receiver will carry the sound information back to your receiver. Simply select the input on the receiver for the TV, and you're off to the races.
