Your best option is to use Optical cable (if our Sony has one), this is the only way to enjoy 5.1 sound. Next option is to get red-white chinch cables, and pass audio from TV to the receiver.
Your TV does not seem to have any audio outputs let alone ARC so short of modifying the TV you cannot connect it to any HT equipment. If you have sources connected to the TV they will have to feed audio to the Sony directly.
