There are two ways you can use the Sony.
1. Connect all your sources to the TV via HDMI. Connect the TV analog audio or headphone out to the Sony. If your TV only has digital audio out you will need a DAC like this one

2. Connect all you sources to an HDMI input selector that has audio extraction like this one

and connect the analog audio out of the switcher to the Sony. Connect the HDMI out of the switcher to the TV.

Looking at the manual, your Sony does not have any digital input (required for surround sound), so you can get only stereo out from external source. As to how to get it, posters above gave you ideas.
