I don't know the xbox too well but I don't think you can without a Dolby Digital 5.1 decoder..

The decoder will take a digital signal (normally coaxial, optical or these days from the HDMI) and will then decode the signal into it's component parts (FrontRight, FrontLeft, FrontCenter, RearRight,RearLeft and SubWoofer) each on it's own phono output and it's these 6 outputs that go to the 6 DVD inputs..

Some DVD's have these decoder/outputs built in but has the xbox?

For the mean time you could connect the xbox analog (the two phone plugs) to the AUX input on the amp and it will either be dolby pro-logic or it'll fake dolby digital
