How do I use Casa Nova analog inputs for HT?

I purchased a used Casa Nova and will be attempting
to use it for home theater. My idea was to have a
dvd player decode the signal and send it to the
Casa Nova over 6 analog outputs (left, right, center,
left surr, right surr, sub). That way, I will be able
to take advantage of newer formats such as TrueHD
and DTS-HD.

I can't find any instructions in the Casa Nova user's
manual for sending six analog outputs to the six
speaker outputs.

I know I can use the coax/optical inputs on the Casa Nova,
but that won't work for TrueHD or DTS-HD. Anyone know of
a way to connect analog outputs of a dvd to the Casa Nova
for 5.1 sound?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I was not aware
that the signal over the coax/toslink is better from
a blu-ray player than a standard dvd player. Based on
this info, I will attempt to use this interface from
my oppo bdp-80 (not yet purchased) to CasaNova.

Follow-up question: Does the Krell HTS 5.1 have 5.1
analog inputs that would allow lossless audio from
a blu-ray player? And, how does the HTS 5.1 compare
with the CasaNova for both HT and 2-channel sound?

Thanks again.
