Doesn't seem to mention if it has a Dolby Digital 5.1 Decoder, just an
amplifier, by the looks of it you need the output from a decoder to plug
into this...

If your DVD already has a 5.1 decoder built in then just connect to the
speakers 5.1 input, if they have the same connections, doesn't say whether
it's coax or optical or both.
