How do i connect a Toshiba tv to Sony sound bar

[cstachini]

How do I connect a Toshiba 49u5766db tv to a Sony ht-ct290/ht-ct291? Ive connected the hdmi and the thin cable. On my lg tv all i had to then do is change the output to the sound bar. There doesn't seem to be that option on this tv. Cheers

What ports are you using to connect the Toshiba and the Sony: HDMI, HDMI ARC....?

Not sure about "thin cable". Perhaps ome 1/8" (3.5mm) TR, TRS, or TRRS with M-M plugs. What ports are being connected with that cable?

More info needed.

Best way to connect them is with the thin optical cable. You may need to turn that output on, the TV speakers off, and change the audio output type in the TV menu to get it working.
No reason to use HDMI. You lose an HDMI input without any gain in quality.
