Depending on how you tune in the TV you need to connect the audio OUTPUT of the TV or your satellite or cable box to the INPUT of the surround system. The specific type of cable you need depends on the type of connects available to you. For surround sound you need HDMI, optical or digital coax. If you only have analog stereo (red/white RCA jacks) you can’t get surround. If you use the external surround system turn off the speakers on the TV.
An optical cable should do the job.
