Using S/pdif for wet-dry-wet?

Hi everyone. I just got into my new helix floor and I was wondering if I could use the s/pdif coaxial cable to get a wet-dry-wet setup on my music/video receiver in the living room (Marantz SR6012, which is set with 5.1 speakers). 

I set up the helix to have a mono dry out and a wet stereo, I sent all of that to my s/pdif out, but I still only get a stereo out, which means my center speaker isn't used at all. Is there a way for me to create a 3.0 or 3.1 system with only 1 coaxial cable, like with a DVD player? That would be awesome.

Many thanks in advance for the help.

No. You'd need to put your dry signal on a separate output (1/4" probably) and somehow get that into your center speaker separate from the wet signal.
