Why am I still getting static with an auxiliary cable?

Why am I getting analog" displayed on my receiver when I'm using optical cable?

I have a home theater with a Marantz SR5600 receiver, and a High Definition DVR cable box from Cablevision. I also have a 5.1 speaker system hooked up. I hooked up an optical cable from the "optical out" of the cable box to the "optical in" of the receiver, removed the cable for the regular coax connection, and put the receiver on "auto", then played a digital broadcast. However, the word "alalog" is always displayed. Does anyone know why this could be? Thank you.
Answer:

One the set-top box make sure you send "bitstream" or Dolby Digital over s/pdif. Make sure you haven't connected any RCA analog cables between the receiver and the set-top box.
