Help an embarassed idiot connect cables again

[PHYSTRAINER]

Heres my problem i hooked my new cables up and had picture and sound coming out fine, as i had moved my speakers i did the auto calibration again and tested only to find i had less volume at the same point as before and now had different options on my receiver that were not there before When playing a DTS movie with my receiver
(pioneer vsx1015S) set to Auto, it selected stereo instead of DTS decoding and when playing Dolby i could choose PL+thx and others that were not available before that do not seem to sound as they did before and i am confused as to why.
Here is a list of cables which i have in frustration removed so nothing is plugged in, to try reconnect properly.

1xEsoteric audio V3 video interconnects(brought to replace cheap s-video cable)
1xaccoustic research performance series HD video cable
1xMonster(i know)digital coax interconnect cable
2x old (soon to be replaced if needed) red and white audio cables

What is the best way to connect this?
DVD has s-video and (Y/PR/PB)awell as coax plus red/white and yellow audio.
Tv is the same.
No cable box just aerial and my amp as mentioned running 5.1 fronts bi wired and evertime i hook it up i can't get sound or correct signal so someone help me pleeease

The best video connection would be component video (y/pb/pr). You can connect directly from the dvd player to the tv or from the dvd player to the receiver and from the receiver to the tv. Routing through the receiver gives you convenient switching so you don't have to change the input on the tv.

The audio problem sounds like a misconfiguration of the dvd player. The receiver is seeing a stereo signal only and that is why you can choose stereo or PLII. You need to connect the Monster digital coax cable from the dvd player to the receiver and then go into the dvd player's setup menu and find the option for DD/DTS and set it to 'bitstream' NOT 'PCM'. That should do it.

Well still no sound coming out DVD. As far as i can see is all good as i have not changed anything on it from before
The picture is great with component video and have the coax coming out of the DVD to the DVD/LD assignable digital in on the receiver but still no sound What cable is carrying the audio signal? and where should i connect it?

The coax cable from the dvd player to the receiver is carrying the digital surround audio signal to the receiver. You may have to assign your receiver the digital coax input for the dvd player manually. There are 4 input options.

The problem could also be the dvd itself. Are you choosing DTS/DD on the language selector screen of the dvd movie? I would have guessed it to be what MDS mentioned in the dvd players setup mode - having it set to pcm.
