Question from Ozzy66699 : "Digital sound for my DVD player"

Hello how I hook this up I have home theater that everything is connected with HDMI cables, but for the DVD player I want digital coaxial cable for the sound so if I take the HDMI cable and hook it up to the flat screen TV HDMI 2 I should have the picture and digital sound right????
 
Is your DVD player integrated into the Home Theater, or is standalone unit?
If it is stand-alone unit, where you want to connect the digital coax as an output device?
