ok, so am i reading you right? the dvd player has teh 5.1 decoder built in? does it have ports at the back to hook up the 5 speakers and sub?

if so, then i doubt that it will have an 'audio in' jack on the back. this means that it will only do the 5.1 from what ever dvd it is playing.

if you want to have more devices, then you will need to buy a 5.1 decoder box, which will have 4 or 5 (ish) digital inputs into it
