how to connect a DVR to a digital audio out

[Fortuner]

hi guys, is there a way to connect a DVR to a digital audio out on a home theater receiver?

i mean can you do this instead of connecting to the red and white cables when the receiver will only take DVD input on the digital audio out jack?

Hi Fortuner,

How are ya? Seems like you just bought new stuff

Unfortunately for you my friend I got some bad news. I'm assuming here that you want to record 5.1 audio to your DVR for television programs you want to watch?

Unless your DVR has a Digital Audio Input, it will not be able to record high definition audio. Sorry!

However, I've read a couple of findings and they say that there are known exceptions these days. Check this out:

Digital Audio Connections has 4 main types: Optical (using red LED), Coaxial (high grade coax with RCA connector), 6 channel (independant set of wires for each channel between devices), and Over HDMI cable (cannot separate audio/video). <<< It's impossible to convert any of these mediums to another via a cable. ALSO: If you are recording HD OTA via the coaxial input (using an ATSC Tuner), then your DVR will record the HD audio and HD video.
