S/PDIF or Sony Philips Digital Interconnect Format is a standard/protocol that specifies transmission of audio signals from one device to another in digital format. Both coaxial electrical cable and an optical fiber cable can be used to carry signals in S/PDIF format. - Neeraj Sharma

Can you purcchase a cable that would have SPDIF plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other?
It's not straightforward to convert between SPDIF and a stereo pair of RCA plugs. SPDIF is a digital standard (SPDIF is an acronym for Sony Philips Digital Interface) and a pair of RCA plugs is analogue. It is possible to buy adaptors that convert from one to the other; if you search for SPDIF to analogue (or analog) convertor with google, you'll find a selection.
A tv has a single spdif out and the surround sound only accepts a red and white rca input how do you make it work?
The TV is a MONO TV and you need a STEREO TV with audio output jacks to get the surround system to work. PS, what is a spdif?
What is spdif interface and what are its uses?
A SPDIF interface is a connection that is found on a variety of electronic audio devices, from computer sound cards, minidisk players, home theatre surround amplifiers and many more. SPDIF is short for Sony Phillips Digital InterFace and it is used to transmit audio digitally from one device to another. The digital audio formats supported by this interface are many and include standard 2 channel audio up to 5.1 Dolby Digital channels at high sample rates.
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
