You want to use the digital audio connection. The govideo outputs digital audio on coaxial cable, but I could not find what type of digital audio connection the IM66 uses. If it is also audio, you just have to get an optical coax cable. If the IM66 is optical, you can get a converter to convert from coax to optical. One cable is all you need, assuming that the govideo outputs all kinds of audio via the digital cable (the spec is not clear). If the IM66 also has a stereo input (red/white RCA jacks), then you should connect that as well to your govideo, just in case. Try it with the coax only first–that should work.
EDIT:
OK, I downoaded the manual and find the IM66 is a complete self-contained system an has no provision for an external digital audio input. The IM66 DVD input requires 6 cables from the DVD player, one for each of the Dolby 5.1 channels. The govideo DVD recorder does not decode surround as six outputs, so you cannot get Dolby 5.1 from that source. Your only option is to use the AUX input to the IM66 and a single stereo audio (red/white) cable from the govideo to the IM66.
