Set Up Denon Avr-2801 To Use Optical Cable For Sound.

I am trying to setup my Denon AVR-2801 to work with my Apple TV sound. I used the old hookup I had for my dvd/vcr unit to connect the hdmi to the Apple TV. But, the sound is another matter. The problem is I don't know how to access the Onscreen system setup. I can't get it to show on my panasonic hdtv.
