I recently got an LG SH3K soundbar, and it only has Optical and 3.5mm. My TV is a Sanyo DP58D33. It doesn't have an optical out or a 3.5mm as far as I can tell. It does have a digital audio out, however. I'm looking for converters and I'm seeing some that are just a straight up cable, and some that are a converter box that requires power. I would think the simple cable would be the easiest and best solution, but then I don't think the converters would exist. Any help or alternatives would be greatly appreciated.
 
Solution
U need the variety that's powered.

If you shop careful, u maybe able to get one with a standard USB-type 5V plug then you can use a TV unused USB jack to power it.
