From the Blu-Ray player, you're fine with just the one HDMI cable. When you use the Netflix app on the TV, the sound is coming from the TV, so you have to add another cable from the TV to the receiver. Some have an optical output and others only have a mini-plug for it. You can't use an HDMI to get from TV to the receiver because those are only inputs from other sources.

Unfortunately, the TV supports it but my receiver does not so it looks like I'll be feeding audio from the TV to the receiver with toslink for now.

Thanks

  It sounds like a solution, but I wonder how it works in practice. My system is connected to a cable box and DVD player with the receiver doing the switching and one HDMI going to the TV via the HDMI out. If I use the TV's Netflix, then I'd have sound coming in from the cable box and from the TV to the output. How does it know which is the right sound? I suppose you could turn off the cable box, maybe.
