I am trying to connect a amazon basics soundbar which I was told that it would work on my tv. I have tired using the rca connection and nothing. Here are the connection my tv has AV 1 CVBS in, shared audio L/R in
AV 1 YPbPr, shared audio L/R in
HDMI 1 HDMI, shared audio L/R in
HDMI 2 HDMI, shared audio L/R in
USB USB (photo,music,movie)
Other connections Ethernet
Wireless LAN
S/PDIF out (optical)
HDMI-CEC
The sound bar does not have a hdmi port.
It has optical in, rca in, and aux in.
So I need help into getting sound.
I am at my wits end with this. I had purchased a prior sound bar and was told it was not compatible with it and was suggested this one. Please help
 
Solution
TV has SPDIF optical audio output.
Soundbar has SPDIF optical audio input.
Connect them with a Toslink optical cable.
You may have to turn the optical output on, the TV speakers off, and change the audio type in the TV audio menu to get it working.
