Cant hook up speakers to my tv

[emily95lyn]

Forgive me but I have no idea what I'm doing here not familiar with this.. I bought my fiancé (6pc) Logitech 5.1 surround sound speakers. We wanted to hook them up to our tv and the description said it hooks up to a tv so I went with it. Apparently newer TVs don't have a spot to plug in the 3.5mm Jack and that's how these speakers get hooked up. We have an LG smart tv

If your TV has a headphone out that will work and the TV will control the volume. Otherwise you need a DAC like this one

to convert the optical audio out of the TV to analog. You will also need a toslink optical audio cable and a stereo cable with 2 RCA plugs at the DAC end and a stereo mini plug at the speaker end. This is a fixed output so the volume will have to be controlled on the speakers.

Can you list the model numbers of both the TV and the speaker kit.
This will make it easier to work out a solution.
