Digital Coaxial cable input to AV receiver

[tedzbear]

I have a Yamaha RX-V1400 AV receiver that was built before HDMI cables. I just bought a new Panasonic Plasma TV which I will connect to my BD Player with a HDMI cable. I already connect a digital coaxial cable from BD Player to DVD coaxial cable input jack on Yamaha receiver. I also want to connect audio from the TV directly to the Yamaha receiver in case I want to download movies from Netflix using the TV's WiFi.
The Yamaha receiver only has DTV optical cable R L audio input jacks. It doesn't have a DTV coaxial cable input jack. Can I connect a coaxial cable from the TV to the CD or DVR/VCR2 coaxial cable input jacks? Will the receiver know where the audio signal is coming from and not play it?
If I can't use a coaxial cable I'll use optical cable. I just can't afford to buy a new AV receiver right now since I just bought this new TV.
Thanks for your help.

Those labels are there for identification purposes. So yes, you can use the coax digital marked for CD as long as you switch input to that.

Yep, should work just fine.

Me? No. I am old enough to actually walk around in that hat and no one will say a thing.

Alternator was for BBO and the fedora was to mock Broken Visage on his rant on people wearing fedora.
