Without model numbers you won't get an exact answer.
If the receiver doesn't have any digital inputs and the TV only has digital optical audio output you would need an an optical to analog converter to connect them. This is a fixed level output so you would use the Sony for volume control not the TV remote.
Check the TV manual on how to use the optical output.
