Apple TV has no analog outputs that I know of but which is the connector that you are referring to as TOSLINK? Is that the optical connection?
There are a number of ways to get analog output from your Apple TV. If your TV is connected using the HDMI cable, it is also decoding the audio. Even though the TV's sound is not good, it may have audio outputs that could go to your stereo receiver. There are also converters that will convert a digital optical output signal to an analog signal. Using one of these will also work. There are also converters that will convert an HDMI output to analog video and audio. This would degrade your picture, though, but the audio is pretty good. I am using one of these since my TV and receiver are old. Best regards, Steve Jacobson On Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:28:10 -0700, Donald L.
