using reveiver as a switch for sound bar and tv

[jesslee33]

Run sound bar through receiver due to mounting and only 1 hdmi cable.
Sound bar sony ht-c260h
Receiver pioneer vsx-823
Tv samsung model un55f7050af
How do I do this?

Since the soundbar has only analog and digital audio inputs and your receiver has none of these the only way I can think of is to use a speaker to line level adapter like this

to feed the analog input of the soundbar from the front speaker terminals. Set the receiver up for stereo.
An HDMI switcher that will split the digital audio off the HDMI would be better. Like this one:
