  • Answer:

    Your first mistake was to buy without doing enough research. Your second mistake was buying a very limited surround sound system that does not have much in the way of connectivity or upgrade ability. I hope you realize that since your surround sound only has red and white audio (stereo) inputs you will most likely only get stereo sound - sound that only comes from the two front speakers. This is the adapter you need that will take the digital audio and convert it into the analog audio that your system requires FiiO D3 Digital to Analog Audio Converter With Micca 6ft Optical Toslink Cable http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-D3-Digital-Converter-Optical/dp/B005K2TXMO/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_title_0

you have to hook it straigt to the sounds source example if you have a blueray player it needs to be hooked to the blueray players sound output same with a cable or sattelite box or dvd player its not gonna play their sound off the tv it has to individually be hooked to each box output from the box to the input on surround sound

This is why you shouldn't have bought the Samsung surround system. You need a system where the receiver has a digital audio optical input. If your present one doesn't, you're out of luck.
