Connect STR DH790 to A80L55 to use the TV as the centre speaker of the surround sound

I have an STRDH790 audio processor running a 5.1 system with subwoofer. I wondered if it is possible to connect the STRDH790 to dispense with the centre speaker and use the one from the TV instead. I note the TV has a S-Center speaker input, but the DH790 doesn't have an S-Center speaker output - only the standard analogue speaker output.

Does anyone have any suggestions please? I assume you can't just wire the analogue speaker to the 3.5mm stereo jack that is the S-Center input on the TV and expect it to work...

@PeterJS Yea, directly connecting the STR-DH790's analog speaker output to the TV's center input likely won't work as expected, as the TV's inputs has another receiving audio format and signal other than the STR-DH790
