Stupid hdmi hookup question

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

An idiotically stupid question :
I have ordered an Oppo 981 Universal DVD player. I'll also be getting a Panasonic 42" plasma tv (42PX75U). The tv has 2 hdmi inputs. My cable box has hdmi, but not my Marantz AV receiver.
I intend to hook up the Oppo and cable box via hdmi for video. But how do I defeat the audio portion so that I can get the audio through coax or optical?
(i told you it was a stupid question - LOL).
