For Dolby/dts either coaxial or optical will work fine. I prefer coaxial, some prefer optical. A "good" coaxial cable costs less, usually, than an equally good optical cable. Frankly, for movie sound, use whicever is more convenient for you, I wouldn't sweat it. For music from a CD in your DVDP, that's tougher, you'll have to use your ears, and you may not hear a difference between the optical or coaxial cables you choose. And even try the analog outputs from your players, you might like that better (for stereo CD play).For playing a DVD-A, you'll need to use (up to 6) analog cables to your receiver, that's the only way to use the DVD-A output, it is not available in digital format.
