That's weird, it hooked up easily to my Samsung, maybe your TV is an older model? Sorry no clue.

Make sure your TV have a digital optical port on the back

I think you have a connection but just haven't found it! I have a 10 year old VZIO TV and it has a connection for the optical audio cable and even our old Panasonic projection TV had one.

Hook it to your tv box and then the sound bar, if your tv does not have optical cables....I believe this will work.
