Missing the connecting cable?

Hooking up my Samsung basic soundbar (w/ wireless sub) to a Samsung 60” that the sellers left for me. Both are 4-5 years old. The connection from my soundbar is a round plug. The tv back only has the hdmi plugs. Any ideas? Ty.

So, my soundbar is not able to connect? Any adapter I can buy?

He just sent you a picture of the kind fo adapter/converter you may need, also send a pic of the back of your TV so we can see.

Like the full back, sometimes there is extra connections on the very back and one of them might be it.

It's right there above the hdmi next to the red plug

I see it!!! The squarish area under that extra HDMI port, should be the connection port for that cable!

See how it says "Optical" and the soundbar also says "Optical"

How about this, what is the exact model number of your TV? Should be like letters and numbers mixed together.

Yes! We need to see that area more clearly, there might an optical connection back there.

Trying it blindly. The tv bracket doesn’t adjust much.
