Hey guys, pretty basic question I'm putting forward here.

Just bought myself a receiver with 5 speakers and a sub. Also bought myself am LG dvd player to connect up to it. When I connect the dvd player up the receiver, there are only 2 audio inputs on the dvd player. Sound only comes through 2 speakers thru the amp. Would I be right in saying this is a 2 channel dvd player and to get 5.1 channel i'd need one with 6 audio inputs in the back of the player???

Also, i was told to get a coaxial/optical cord to connect the 2 appliances - which one is better and how much difference does it make the sound? Oh, and do I need to still have the 6 audio plugs plugged in?

Thanks, Andrew
