Sound Bars

So, I have been given a Vizio vsb206 sound bar and I can't find a way to connect it to my TV. I have a Samsung 32" LED Smart TV and I guess it doesn't use the same input's and outputs as the sound bar. Is there any type of converter I can use to switch my TV'S audio connection over to RCA?

I hooked up my sound bar to my TV using rca jack but not sure what setting to go to after that ,I've found nothing in settings that will let it work
