"S/P DIF" implies *electrical* digital to me.
If it said "TOSlink" that would mean *optical*.

If it is an RCA, then it is almost certainly NOT optical!
If it is yellow, then it is almost certainly SPDIF electrical
digital output. (Beware that video equipment uses yellow
RCA jacks to indicate composite video, so you must take
the context into account.)

If you have to run the signal into an optical input, you can
buy an adaptor that does SPDIF (electrical)-> TOSlink (optical)
