You just use the 2nd set of six channel analog inputs on your receiver. :0)

Fortunately, it's a solution available to me. I was already using two (2) sets of six channel inputs on a MC analog preamp. One set for the SACD/DVD-A player and one set for the ancient preamp/processor for DD/DTS decoding. I special-ordered another 6 cable set to route the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD combo player 6 channel output to a a third set of six channel inputs to the preamp. I still have a 4th set of 6 channel inputs for another source. Granted, most people won't have this solution; I'm hoping for a full-featured Uber-Universal player which will play BLU-RAY, HD-DVD, SACD, DVD-A, etc... but I expect that one, if it ever exists), is at least a year away.

You can get the DD/DTS sound through the optical; you won't get the TrueHD, DTS HD MA, and probably not the uncompressed PCM. Still, Any of the DTS HD discs will have a DTS 1.5MB core track which will sound better than anything you'll have with DVD (and playable via coax/optical) through your receiver's DD/DTS decoder).
