Marantz sr 5005 setup question

Hi folks, just bought a Marantz SR 5005 to replace my Harman Kardon AVR 254. With the HK I enjoyed watching DirectTV while listening to music on my Wadia ipod dock. So, I was able to watch hdmi video from the Directv reciever and listen to digital coax audio coming from the Wadia. I setup the AUX input on the HK to play hdmi video and digital coax audio very easily. With the Marantz I haven't figured out how to do this? Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is this even possible with the Marantz? Any help would be much appreciated!

You can, you'll need to set up a new source with HDMI for video and coax for audio it can easily be done in the input settings.

Set the digital input to coax, I think that is all you need to do tho it's been a few months since I went through the setup, I think you can do it though.

You can then run component from the DTV box to a separate input and then assign the audio source to whatever you want, component will easily handle the 1080i of DTV and the audio is never better than DD/DTS sop coax of optical digital will cover that.
