Connecting an LG tv to Samsung Soundbar

[SueP23]

Ok I have an LG Model 42LS3450 tv and a Samsung HWJ355 soundbar..the tv does not have an aux out or an optical out..the soundbar has an aux in so the guy at Best Buy sold me an RCA (to plug into my audio jacks on the tv)to mini cable (to plug into the aux in on the soundbar)....safe to say that didn't work at all...getting frustrated so I thought I'd ask people in the know...your suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
Thank you....S

The idiot at Best Buy should have told you that if the TV doesn't have audio out of any kind you can't hook a soundbar to it.
It is possible to modify the TV to give you an analog audio output. You would connect a speaker to line level converter to the wires that go to the internal TV speakers. It would void the warranty.
