Connecting Sonos Connect to receiver

Question

I have a Marantz NR 1604 Receiver.  The TV  is connected through the HDMI output, Direct TV  box and DVD through HDMI inputs, and my phono preamp through the CD audio inputs.  What should I use to connect my Sonos Connect to the receiver?

I would use the CBL/SAT COAXIAL input or TV AUDIO OPTICAL input for digital signals from the CONNECT. Alternatively, use a spare AUDIO IN (ASSIGNABLE) L/R pair for analog signals from the CONNECT.

Ideally, you'd want to use the coaxial or optical inputs, if not that, then one of the rca inputs. It's a little difficult to tell what will work for that receiver as the inputs are labeled for the type of input, but are also assignable. Without the manual for the receiver, I can't tell if using the hdmi for CBL/SAT (for example) will automatically turn off CBL/SAT labeled inputs for COAX and RCA inputs. I doubt that, but again, can't confirm without the user manual.

FYI, I would look up the manual, but it's my company blocks the Marantz site for some reason.
