Hey guys.
I recently bought an hdtv and i want to connect my home theatre to it.
The problem is the only port that i can see on my tv is called s/pdif and the one on my home theatre is an optical output.
Please tell me how do i connect the two because i can see that the two ports look different.
So please tell me if i will need a converter and what type of connecter do i have to use?
And please i am a noob in this kind of stuff so please don't use technical language

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is an audio transfer format interface.

The signal is transmitted over either a coaxial cable with RCA connectors or a fibre optic cable with TOSLINK connectors.

You wrote you can see the port on the HDTV, but you don't identify what kind of port it is.
