Sorry John, I should have explained myself better. I am using my DVD player to play CD's. I thought I could only run it through my receiver because I was using an optical cable for audio. I went home this morning a took a second look and low and behold I have a 2 channel output on the DVD player. I plugged the RCA's into the DVD player and into the CD input on the NAD and presto, I've solved my problem. Thanks to you and Todd for responding.
