Hello all

I want to connect my tv to my surround but my tv doesn't have a HDMI ARC port so i can't connect it through that. And i read that you can connect your surround through an optical cable but my surround doesn't have a optical cable port so is there any other way to connect it

My TV

Samsung UE32D550

My surround

Samsung HT-E350
 
Your surround has left and right RCA analog inputs labeled AUX, you need a digital to analog converter. You will also need an Toslink optical cable and RCA stereo cables to make the connections.
 



So is this a good converter http://www.amazon.com/D3-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B005K2TXMO/ref=pd_sim_e_3 ?

And I just plugin the Optical cable in the converter and from the converter i use RCA cables to connect to my surround ?


Thanks for the help
