Connect an older Bose surround sound system (no HDMI) to a new Sony TV?

[Mavers]

I have an older Bose surround sound system. I have it connected to a new (2012) Sony tv via an Optical reader cable, with Direct TV service. I can use the speakers but I can't get the CD/video to display a movie. It seems like the video portion isn't connected??

The optical cable is only to get audio from the TV to the surround system. You will need to connect the Bose video out to the TV to get a picture.
