HT Receiver connection question

199.217.137.34

I've just upgraded my 10-years old HT Yamaha decoder to the new Yamaha RX-V1. The back panel of this behemeth is so full of connectors, I don't even know where to start. I was reading the manual last night and it suggested that for LD players with AC-3 output, you should connect a digital cable from LD's AC-3 output to Yamaha's AC-3 input, but you should also connect the digital and analog outputs from the LD to the respective inputs on the Yahama. Why so many connections for the audio portion? The manual explained that the analog cable is required if you want to record movies from LD to VCR. I also have a DVD player too with AC-3, digital, and analog output. That's a lot of cables! What's the optimum solution?
