How do I connect a sound bar ?

I have an old Sony Bravia TV. The optical port on the back is round in shape. The cable supplied with the Sony sound bar is a different shape. How do I plug it in?

Hi @Rubemused2 To see what connections are available, we need the full model number of the TV and Soundbar.

TV Model is KDL- 32WE613

Sound Bar is HT- SF150

TV has 2 HDMI ports but one is hosting my Firestick and they are too close together hence my optical cable option.

Thanks

I'd suggest to use the HDMI arc connection anyway, via optical you'll lose control of the volume via TV remote and automatic soundbar switching on/off. You may invest the money to buy an hdmi extension for the firestick...
