Help please with older surround sound hookups

[ProudYaYa]

Have a Sharp TV LC-50LB481U & much older (amazing) surround sound & I've tried for weeks to hook these up, have bought a lot of different cords & gadgets. I'm so confused, I've had it hooked up before but it was through my blu ray player but I don't use that anymore, everything I watch is streaming. Can anyone please look at the pictures & maybe answer? I know it's probably simple to others. Thanks.

Digital Optical output from the TV would be the best choice but your "amazing" surround sound has no digital capabilities. You could use the digital output and use a converter or you could use the 3.5mm analog output (next to the coax) with an red/white RCA cable.
Either way you are missing out on true surround sound.

If your TV will output in surround sound you can add one of these
https/www.amazon.com/Tekimbe-Digital-Decoder-Converter-Surround/dp/B01CE7JDHW/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_504_bs_tr_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1VV1BDBFFB2PK680990F
Check the TV manual or audio menu to be sure. Your surround system will need it's own remote volume control since the output of the TV is fixed in level.
