These new electronics. New 65" Sony trying to mate it with a 7 year old surround sound, also Sony. The new TV needs a digital optical cable as compared to the old 55" which needed an HDMI. The old surround sound has a digital optical cable input, BUT, the manual doesn't tell you how to mate the two together. Also something about the interface with the internet "smart" TV feature. Thankfully, I have a 27 y/o son who figured it out. When I was a kid we had manual TV's and eventually remotes. I turn a TV on/off, adjust the volume and change channels. Between the TV, and the blue-ray/surround sound I counted 65 buttons, let alone all the sub-routines that many of the buttons perform. My Son got it working and said "Dad, it works now, don't eff with it".
