Hi Horse. What audio connections do you have on your 2013 Plasma TV? The LG SJ7 Sound Bar Flex 4.1 Channel Speaker System with Wireless Subwoofer and Bluetooth Streaming - Black, Model # SJ7 has an HDMI 1,4 Out port and an Optical Digital Audio Out and an HDMI 1.4 In as connection ports. If your TV has an Optical Digital Audio Output on it, you can simply connect that port to the Optical Digital Audio Input on the soundbar using an optical (Toslink) cable if you have one. You might need to go into the audio settings in your TV to specify what path to output the audio through. Check the instruction in your owner's manual for your TV for instructions on that. It should be TV setting menu [ [Sound] [ [TV Sound output] [ [External speaker (Optical)] or something similar. You can use the HDMI 1.4 Out if your TV has an HDMI port that supports ARC functionality. ARC functionality allows you to send audio upstream or downstream through the same HDMI cable when it is supported on both your TV and on the Soundbar. Again, you'll have to get into the audio settings in your TV's menu settings to specify an audio output path. That should look something like TV setting menu [ [Sound] [ [TV Sound output] [ [External speaker (HDMI ARC)]. Details of the TV settings menu may vary depending on the model of your TV...^IFV
