Recording sound samples from DVD to Pro Tools

Hello my names Aaron and I'm brand new to this forum. I've been trying to add movie samples to my Pro Tools sessions by recording from a DVD player to Pro Tools. The DVD player has a coxial output on it and I had the understanding that would work the same as S/PDIF. I've tried using the RCA cables from the DVD player to the S/PDIF in on my MBOX2 but nothing seems to be working.

AudioBox USB Active Instrument Inputs

I have a audiobox usb, and your not supposed to hook up an active instrument into the front instrument input, but a "line" input, but, i have a Boss multi effects pedal for my guitar, and sense it has an onboard preamp, i cant plug it into the from connections as is.. or, can i? just wondering what i need to do :)
thnx
