Apple TV will need an HDMI connection to the TV. TVs without HDMI are not compatible. The RCA video connectors are not capable of dealing with HDCP encryption of the video signal, as used for (nearly) all commercially available content.
Apple TV with a separate HDMI audio extractor can send a separate audio signal to audio equipment without HDMI. Then you could use Toslink or RCA on your receiver.

the TV has HDMI, but the ports are blown. i'm currently using a HDMI to RCA, Wenter 1080P HDMI to AV Converter / 3RCA CVBs Composite Video Audio Converter Adapter Supporting PAL/NTSC...and it works, but sometimes the video breaks up and the picture quality is not great. if that converter works, i would imagine that there is a converter that would work for the 5-rca cable...and the video quality would be better. here is link for converter i am currently using...
HDMI is the only supported method and there won't be any guarantee with any converter used. RCA cannot pass through protected content, and any that do are not compliant and that would not be legal. Even those that work could cease function at any time as it is not a supported method.
I would say it's time to take advantage of some Cyber Monday sales on TV's, this assumes you are in the US of course.
