RE: I need your help!

The TV you picked out is set up basically to drive a 5.1 to 7.1 surround sound receiver. A surround sound receiver will decode the broadcast 5.1 surround signal from the orange-wire digital output, something that wouldn't likely happen with the signal coming out of the standard 2-channel analog outputs.

But the TV you selected is not a good choice if you plan to listen to the sound using an older 2-channel stereo receiver that lacks a digital input. For that you need a pair of conventional red and white analog outputs on the TV.

I found the manual for your TV on line and I was surprised to see that there were no analog audio outputs.

The choice is to either find a different TV, or plan to buy a surround-sound receiver with a digital input. One other possibility might be to run the analog audio output from the analog outputs from your new cable box. Some cable boxes have analog audio outputs but others may not. I would need to see what the outputs are on the back of the cable box.
