What is the easiest way to go HD on new Sony LCD HDTV?

We just purchased a Sony 40" HDTV LCD 1080p. We have a pioneer DVD surrond system and a phillips DVR. What is the easiest way to have this system setup in HD and what do I need to get this done. I am not sure if my DVR is HD but we just got it about 2yrs ago from Directv brand new. Thanks!

Answer:
Try to connect your DVD to your TV using HDMI cables, and make sure your Pioneer DVD have HDMI output, and about your DVR i think you can't go HD with it.
In order to get an HD signal to your TV, the receiver you use from Directv must be HD. Call & find out if yours is. I suspect it isn't, because when you got it , you had no HDTV to use an HD receiver on. I think you need to upgrade the receiver. I found the link for the box you need to set up an HD signal to the TV :

When they come with the box, get them to hook up your stuff while they are at, saying you need help so you don't do anything to that new box by incorrect set-up of the other stuff ! It worked for me.
