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.

I don't own any Theta gear but I thought you would need the Six Shooter specifically for this purpose.

Krell HTS 7.1 has 7.1 analog inputs, Theta Casanova doesn't. Instead, Theta user needs an additional unit called Six Shooter which accepts 5.1 (in this case) analog inputs and then interphases with the original CasaNova.

What Jimburger is saying is that the stripped down audio signal (i.e., lossy) from a BluRay player are of higher quality than that from the good old DVD player so it would still be an improvement feeding the same prepro with coax/toslink input from a BluRay player.

I have the Krell HTS 7.1 as well. For lossless audio, I am using the Oppo BDp-83 analog outputs to the Krell. All the speaker distance, volume trims etc. are done on the player.
