    No, an optical input uses a light sensor and an optical output uses a light emitter: they're two totally different devices which cannot be persuaded to do the opposite task.

    Home theatre receivers normally have for surround sound. But as to your question what is it you wish to accomplish? There is no way to change the ouput to input. That would require a photonic media changer and a Digital to analogue converter.
