Hi,

I just purchased a Sony Soundbar (Model HT-CT26) and I am trying to conenct it to my Philips 47" LCD TV (Model 47PFL5522D).

The user manual advises me to connect the soundbar to the tv with the supplied Digital Optical Cord. However I've just come up against a problem. This TV doesn't have an Optical Digital Audio output! It seems to have every other type of outlet, including HDMI x 2, Scart x 2, CVBS/S-Video, Audio In.

Unfortunately, the Soundbar doesn't have an HDMI outlet.

Any suggestions on how to get around this and connect up the soundbar??
