KLH R7000 I never ever throw away manuals but this one I can't find. I have a DVD player and it has coaxial output. where on the reciver do I put it. I see the coax in the back on the upper left side but it has yellow inards so I was under the impression that is was for video only? for the 6.1 do I have to only use the 6.1 RCA jacks on the reciever or can I use the ole fashion wire inputs? thanks for the help and great site!

Nope. That's the coaxial digital audio input. Thats the one to use for your dvd players digital audio output.

The previous poster has it WRONG. Presuming your equipment follows industry-standard color-coding conventions, an RCA-type coaxial jack with a yellow insulator is for COMPOSITE VIDEO. An RCA/coax connector for digital audio would have an ORANGE insulator. It is important to NOT mix these up, as the signals are not even close to compatible -- and cross-connecting them might even cause damage to one or both units. Your DVD player near-certainly has a COMPOSITE VIDEO output, and almost as surely, a coaxial Digital Audio output. Similarly, your receiver near-certainly has a COMPOSITE VIDEO input. But it may or may not have coaxial Digital Audio input; and even if it does, it remain questionable whether or not you'd want to use it (unless the DACs in the DVD player are particularly bad, I'd guess not). It is also likely that both your receiver and your DVD player have either S-Video or "componennt" (or both) video inputs/outputs. If so, this would be the preferable method to feed video from the DVD player to the receiver, as the signal quality will be better maintained. OTOH, if your TV/Monitor does not also have Component and/or S-Video inputs, _and_ your receiver does not do transcoding, then you will need to use whichever connection scheme represents "the highest common denominator" between all the units.
