My oldest son has a similar problem with a Sony set. We're trying to
figure out the least complex way to get the "optical" audio into a TV
modulator for distribution throughout the house.
You need a Toslink receiver for the optical and an S/PDIF reveiver IC
(or a small FPGA) and a DAC.
Fun fact: with a few resistor changes to the input, you can put the
electrical S/PDIF signal through one of those video sender transmitters
and pull decodeable S/PDIF out the receiver - bandwidth is about the
same as video but the levels are different. Nice clean digital
distribution without noise, until someone microwaves popcorn to go with
the movie, in which case at least it cuts off cleanly.
