Question about using tv optical output..

[ferret face]

I am thinking about buying a Yamaha RXV667 for the first time but am unsure of how I will get sound to it from my tv tuner (virgin box with scart only) and my old xbox360 (component only) as i want to listen to these on my external speakers.

Can I just plug both devices into the tv and then connect a toslink cable from the tv to the amp and use the tv as a passthrough for the sounds ?

tv is panasonic 42pz85

Hope this makes sense

Cheers
