how i can connect my sony soundbar with HDMI arc/toslink to my Ikon tv with only 3.5audio out and coax help please

Solution
Toslink is an optical digital interface. The coax output is also a digital interface which is why the coax would be best, it just needs a media converter (coax to optical fiber). The 3.5mm is an analog output. That would require an analog to digital converter. You could get one, but I wouldn't recommend it.
