I have a 1996 - to 2000 pioneer reciever and trying to hook up only red and white cords to a lcd insignia tv it says in the manual I need a spdif cable. Can it work with the red and white cords only

TV has optical digital audio output. Receiver has analog audio inputs. He need a digital to analog converter as suggested by alexoiu. Make sure that you can set the TV to output in PCM stereo. Otherwise you will need a DAC that works with a 5.1 bitstream input. The TV owners manual will tell you how to turn on and use the optical out.

Wrong way around, you need analogue RCA to optical COAX, i'm sure they exist.
