Hi, have a Pioneer 5.1 receiver and a DVD player that also plays CDs. When you connect the player to the receiver digitally, you have to specify what's being connected - DVD, CD, etc.

Does this mean I have to run a digital coax from the player to the receiver and then specify that port is for DVD and then run an optical cable from the same DVD player to the receiver and then indicate that CD will come over that digital port?

What am I missing?

Thanks much.
