How to hook up a apple Macbook Pro to a Denon AVR-X2000 receiver?

I Hooked my Macbook Pro to my receiver and got a picture on my flat screen but no sound came out of the speakers. The sound only came out of the specker from the laptop. Can anyone tell me if I have to turn something off on the laptop or do I need a specail cable?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Thanks to Phone support from Apple I was able to try a few things to make this work. You hook up your HDMI cabe to your receiver and make sure you have your receiver on the right channel. You also have to have a HDMI cable going from your receiver to your TV, You should get a picture if you have your TV on the right input channel. For the sound to come out of the receivers speakers you have to go to your laptop and click on system preferences,, then click on sound, then Output and in there you will see your receivers name ( Mine being Denon) click on it and the sound should work through your receiver speakers. Don't forget to change it back when you are done.
