how do i connect my new LG TV to my old Technics stereo. the TV has optical digital audio out and the stereo has red and white

I want to connect my new TV to my old stereo, but I don't know what cables or adapter I need to have. I don't understand the terminology, all I know is that my stereo doesn't have an optical socket, so am assuming I need some sort of adapter? I have (I believe) RCA with black and white ends cable. I gather I will need to buy optical cable as well. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

You will need one of these:

to convert the TV optical digital audio out to analog. You will need an optical cable as well as stereo RCA cables to make all the connections.
