    while researching my own problem I found that Best Buy online has an optical audio cable with a mini jack adapter. I haven't finished my research so i haven't tried it to see if it works, though most home theaters would want an RCA set not a mini jack but there may be other styles of adapters out there if you do a search. It's a thought anyway.
