Your best option is to use an optical cable from the optical output on the TV to an optical input on the receiver. I can't find specific info on the receiver, but it's a DD 5.1 model, so it should have at least one optical input.

It does have an optical input. I don’t know how to access that optical input

You get a normal toslink optical cable of sufficient length. You connect one end to the TV's optical output and the other end to an optical input on the receiver. Then you go to the setup menu of the receiver, "Inputs" is probably the menu option you want, and there you should be able to select the input you want to use for TV audio, and tell it to get audio from the optical input you connected the cable to.

To add visual context to where you need to go...

Now one problem with TOSEC is it may not produce 5.1 depending on how you receive OTA television. Good luck.

Yes. I see all this. How do I set the receiver to receive the digital input.

I couldn't find a user manual for your particular receiver model, but here is one for a similar vintage model that may be applicable. Page 40 discusses how to switch inputs on the receiver.
