Converting Optical to RCA Type Digital

[gburglax]

Hi, I have a Digital Cable box that has an RCA style digital cable out but my receiver only has Optical Inputs. Is there a way I can convert one to the other or am I stuck. Thanks for any help.

I haven't tried one so I can't tell you if it works well.

And here is one from Radio Shack for $15. I've used it and it works fine.
