SPDIF is a type of digital audio connection. If you hook that up to a port on the AV receiver make sure it is marked "digital/coax", PCM etc....the connection will be orange in color, just like the output on the cable box. Now make sure your AV receiver is told what type of audio to look for on that particular input and make sure your cable box is told what type of audio to put out, not always necessary but would be in the set-up menu if needed.

Whats the difference between a stereo receiver and a channel stereo receiver?
They're both the same. A "channel" stereo receiver merely accepts a given number of channels (2,4,5, &tc.). A stereo receiver has 2 channels of audio output, left and right. A receiver marked as ___ channel receiver has the corresponding number of channels. For instance a 5 channel stereo receiver can play 5 different channels of audio through 5 speakers. If the receiver has a decimal, such as 5.1 or 7.1, that indicates that it has 5 or 7 channels of regular audio, plus 1 channel for subwoofer, making them 6 and 8 channels, respectively.

How do you convert spdif into rca stereo?
SPDIF is a digital audio interface and is designed to transfer audio from one device to another without converting the signal to analog. Eventually, the signal will become analog as the speakers require an analog signal. to work. Almost all audio devices that have a SPDIF output also have an analog output so rather than buying a SPDIF to analog converter, use an existing analog output. If the device with the digital output doesn't have an analog output, then you don't have much choice about buying a converter unit. The converter is an active device so don't expect to find a simple converter cable. They don't cost a lot and they can be obtained from many specialist electronics stores. Good starting points are Radio Shack in the US or Maplin in the UK
