The connection you have there is I assume a Digital Coax. You cant connect it to a optical out unless you have a converter and that would cost you around 30 quid.

I don't know how well they work but this question was raised a few months back with some one else on here and I posted the link for it.

Best bet is use the RCA phono red and white connections. wont make a lot of difference using a converter.

I assume he wants the 5.1 rather then the stereo 2.1.
