Mr. Doody,

Don't forget that you have two inputs on the 568 as well.

So you would have 4 in use on the 562, leaving 3 for 5.1 bypass input.

With respect to multi-channel digital standards, Mitsubishi's marketing campaign notwithstanding, the future is unclear as to whether it would be Firewire or DVI. I think DVI would be a better solution, but others would disagree I'm sure.
