In the service menu, in monitor info, everything regarding SW = software is above 1.9 but you probably mean something else.
Thats exactly what I mean. You've probably sw 2.23 or 2.24. That software decodes DD and DTS.
Sw version can be seen at SW AC3:

The first link gives you a converter that downgrades the audio from 5.1 down to 2 channel stereo.
That's probably not what you want.

the next problem is to find a convenient way to stop the flow on the analog cable when playing surround, otherwise I will have sound coming on both inputs which probably wont be good.
You don't have to stop/silence the stereo analog input if you use the DD or DTS digital signal.
I'm a little wondering what your "problem" is.
Both the digital inputs goes along/corresponds with a analog scart input.
The first with AV and the second goes with VTAPE.
You start with connecting and submitting analog audio (AND/OR video) signal on one of the scarts. But only when the soundmodule detects digital DD or DTS on the corresponding digtal input, the soundmodule switches automatically to the digital input.
Therefore you need both the analog and the digital leads from the DVD.
