Adding a second set of 5.1 analog cables

Hello,

Could anyone please tell me how to connect a second multichannel component through a set of analog 5.1 cables to my B&K ref 50 processor? The problem is that the processor only has one set of inputs and are already connected to a DVD/audio.
Any thoughts?

Thank you.

I read somewhere that splitter can cause loss of volume even if one of the mchines is switched off. did anyone experience such a thing?
thanks.

No to Y cables. If you accidentally have both inputs "on", you may have problems...
My solution, buy a new DVD that will double for CD also.
