If you are referring to your receiver not having an optical input; and you are certain it doesn’t have a digital coax input (usually orange color), then I'm afraid there is nothing you can do.

What model receiver do you have?

[aaron360]

yeh, i am on about my reciever, so guess it looks like i aint going to be using them for my 360 :confused:

Check to see if there is an orange jack, its the digital alternative to toslink (optical) cables. You can still use the receiver for the 360 and use all the speakers, just the back left and right speakers will be the same as the front left and right.
