Once you have the 5.1 analog connection made between the 2200 and the 970's 7.1 Direct input (left and right are the DVD input's left and right analog, while the others are in a group just a little ways above that) and you have selected the DVD input, you can select "7.1 Direct" on the remote (it may be labeled "7.1 D") to switch to the 7.1 analog input.
