This is exacty what I was going to post (well, nearly) I too have the same SOny HDD/DVD recorder that you have. I also have Toshiba DR160 and a Toshiba SD306e machines also.
Without going to the expense of buying an AV amp I would like to hook my DVD machines to some speakers where the deocoder is in the subwoofer. I have two optical and one coaxial to play with. If need be I can live wth just two of the DVD machines being hooked up.
From the lack of replies I reckon we might be on to a non started here. But I'll pursue ths all over the internet if necessary....
