With a DVD player/recorder, you will probably be happier using the 950 for digital-to-analog conversion on CD's, so as Michaelstano suggests you are just as well off connecting the digital audio only (this is what I am doing with my DVD recorder, a Panasonic DMR-E80 -- digital audio only, which eliminated the two cables for left and right analog audio).

For playback using the DVD recorder, you still don't need analog audio for anything, but if you want to use the VCR record out you will need to (of course) connect the analog audio and video from the 950's output to the recorder's input. You will also need to connect any sources that you plan to record using analog audio cables, as the 950 does not convert digital audio to analog for the VCR or tape record outputs. You can still use digital audio from those sources for listening (such as connecting a satellite box or digital cable box using analog and digital audio and setting the 950 to use the digital input -- the analog is there only to give the record out something to chew on).
