MX-136 problem HELP!!!!!!

[crytklmass]

OK, I own a p.o.s. samsung bdp2500 blu ray player. Also a Sony 5 disc cd/dvd player. Each player is connected to my MX136 Digital Audio Output. HDMI 1.3 connects directly to my t.v. NOT pass through my MX136.
Problem: Whenever I view a movie-Cinema 1 will highlight (Digital Signal) and (Pro LogicIIx). If I choose Cinema 2 will highlight (Digital Signal) and (NEO:6).

(EX,DOLBY DIGITAL, ,DTS,DTS ES) No matter what I try I cannot select any other setting:

Why not? What am I doing wrong. I can understand maybe that decdoing is not in the sony dvd player, but the samsung bdp2500:Product Features

My only possible concusion is I need to plug my hdmi 3 cables into the mx136, then 1 single cable from hdmi out to hdmi t.v. IN.
OR OR OR
Did I connect the wiring corecctly? I was considering to buy an Oppo when it sells or 1 Denon 3800BDCI OR A Panasonic Blu Ray Player. OR my Samsung BD Player

1. Does your samsung bluray player have HDMI 1.3 output? Is it configured to output sound via HDMI or the optical/digital output?
2. Does your sony player have HDMI output? I doubt it does, and if that's the case, you probably can only pass the sound, not the video unless your 136 upscale everything from component to HDMI.
