Sadly I know nothing about your AVR, I have the HK-525. I normally use the DVD player with a digital audio out to the reciever. When I listen to DVD-A I have to change the audio output to the 6 channel setting in both the AVR and the DVD. All of this is quite painless with the new remote...At least I do not have to hunt around for the DVD remote and then the AVR remote...ect.
