I am connecting my HDTV cable box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4200HD) to my new home theater receiver (Yamaha HTR-5850) and have a question about the audio hookup. The cable box has audio out options of either digital coax or RCA L/R. My options on the receiver end are eitehr digital optical or audio L/R input for DTV/CBL input. Will I be getting digital sound using the L/R inputs, or do I need a coax/optical converter to get it (and if so, is it worth doing the conversion)? Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

The best connection would be to use the digital coaxial cable from the cable box to the receiver.
