Only get HD channels since buying TV and home theater

I recently purchased a Panasonic 55" plasma and the Panasonic BTT770 home theater system.  I have Time Warner cable and the cable box for HD.  If I hook the cable box directly to the TV using HDMI cable I get all channels.  When I hook the cable box to the Blu-ray on the home theater using HDMI and HDMI from the home theater to the TV I can only get HD channels.  Can anyone help me?

Why bother watching anything but HD? I find I don't watch reagular channels anymore, just HD.

Seeing how the on-demand channels, 3d channel as well as some others are not in HD makes it difficult to watch them doesn't it?  Thanks for your comment but I figured it out on my own.

HDMI is a "live" standard, and not every piece of electronics you own is going to keep up. Use an alternate connection for audio, and run the video signal straight to the TV.
