Even though your receiver isn't HDMI compatible, if it does 5.1 you can still run digital cables...it won't support DTS-HD / Dolby TrueHD, however it will support DTS and dolby digital.
A little secret that is not very common is that you can use a standard RCA cable instead of paying for "digital coax" (they're the same thing). If you do not have a digital coax out from your TV, then use an optical cable. Either way, you'll be doing yourself a favor.
