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

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.
