Hi,
I am pretty good when it comes to hooking up electronics but I have witnessed a first.
My dad just bought a 60" Samsung LED from Sam's Club (UN60EH6002F) and a Vizio soundbar with wireless sub (SB4021MB1)

My problem is the soundbar only has 3 'inputs" - optical in, coaxial in, and analog in.
The TV only has HDMI "inputs" and audio "inputs".
THERE ARE NO OUTPUTS! How can I hook an "input" to an "input"? I got it to work by hooking it through the DVD player b/c it has multiple outputs but I can't get Dish network to play through DVD player. How can I get this to work with just TV and Soundbar?

I can't believe in this day and age with our technology that this new LED tv has NO outputs.
