Your TV almost certainly has stereo audio outputs and your receiver is 
sure to have them. They use RCA connectors like we used to use to 
connect VCRs to TVs. Red and white for audio and yellow for video. You 
won't need the yellow for this application. You'll be limited to 
stereo though.

Some HDTV's have coaxial or optical audio outputs. Your receiver may 
have compatible inputs. If so, you'll have surround again.

Post the make and model numbers of your TV and receiver and I'll check 
for a solution.

A good place to find cables and other electronic gizmos and supplies 
is monoprice.com. I've shopped there for years and have always been 
pleased with the quality, prices, and service.

Compare the prices at the link with what your local store charges for 
HDMI cables.
