How do you connect a Sony DAV 5500 surround sound system to a Samsung HDTV?

We have been trying ever since we got our Samsung HDTV to connect it to our surround sound system for watching normal tv. We have BT vision box that we use to watch TV channels and was wandering whether it would be worth trying to connect that up...How do you connect a Sony DAV 5500 surround sound system to a Samsung HDTV?
I wasn't able to find anything on that unit, but you'll need to connect the audio output of the TV to the Sony unit. If the Sony has an optical input, then connect the optical output of the TV to the optical input of the Sony using an optical audio cable.

If the Sony only has the red and white RCA jacks, then connect the red %26amp; white audio output jacks on the back of the tv to the red and white audio input jacks on the Sony.

You may need to go into the Samsung menu and set the audio to fixed output and set the speakers to "off"(or just turn the volume down).
