I have a new Apple TV and want to set up my sound bar to it but my sound bar does not have an HDMI port on it.. it only has the optic and cell phone ports on it.. any ideas?

if it was me then I would connect to sound bar to the tv and let that handle it and just connect the appletv to the tv by hdmi


if that did not work then one can get hdmi splitters which feature optical audio out

i would go with the first path though save many a world of hurt and incompatibility issues
