The toslink connector is the small rather square indentation immediately
to the left of the HDMI connector if the box is oriented so that the
connectors are facing you. I realize that that is the back of the box,
but when messing with the connections, I turn the box so that the
connectors are facing me.

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.

This question pertains to the toslink connector on my Apple TV box. Is
the signal which comes from the Apple TV's toslink connector a digital
signal or an analog signal? If digital, then I need to convert it to
analog as my receiver is quite old and has no digital inputs, only RCA
analog inputs. I do realize that I could listen to the television set's
audio, but I do not choose to do so as my TV has the dubious distinction
of producing the tinniest audio I have ever heard. Thanks.
