you need an input not an output

if there is no optical input is there a coaxial spdif input .... if so you can connect this to the coaxial spdif output on your v+ box (if it has one .... i'm not siure if mine does or not as i use optical and i can't be botherted to mess about ripping my box out of the stacker system that its mounted in)

if there is no coaxial output from the v+ box and your surround sound has a coaxial input then you can buy an optical to coaxial converter from maplins>>

Or you could use a scart lead with Audio connections to pass this into you sound system

No he hasn't because the OPs kit doesn't have any digital audio inputs.

This is all that can be done using the V+ box
