Will a 5.1 compatible DVD player work w/ a 6.1 Yamaha receiver

I currently have a Sony DVD player w/ 5.1 outputs. I have heard that on the back of the new Yamaha 6.1 receivers that there are no RCA jack style of plug ins, is this true?

anon,
you can use fiber-optic out or coax digital out to connect audio to the new 6.1 yamaha recv. 6.1 adds a rear center for dolby ex, and dts es.

Go to the Yamaha website and download the manual to see if it has the RCA connections. It probably does. The outputs you may be speaking of are for SACD, this will not work through the optical connection. The optical connection supports DTS and Dolby Digital and is irrelevant if the DVD player is 5.1. The Yamaha takes care of sending the audio to the proper channels.
