Just purchased the lg 55" UHD 4K 55UH6030 and i am trying to hook it into my existing sound setup. On my old tv i used two rca cables audio out to the aux inputs on my Pioneer SX-1000TW receiver. Problem is the new lg tv has only optical out or h/p out. I tried buying an optical to rca converter but i am unable to control the tv volume from the remote...the volume would have to adjusted by directly moving the receiver dial. Also, for whatever reason i can't figure out how to get the h/p out to work. tried a 3.5mm to rca adapter that didn't work and also does not work with standard 3.5mm headphones. The tv's audio out options are internal speaker, optical/hdmi out, optical out (sound sync), and internal + optical/hdmi out. So no way to switch to h/p out?
-What am i missing to get the h/p out jack to work? I feel like this could solve my problem getting sound to the old receiver and controlling the sound from the tv.
-If the h/p out jack is just not going to work...is there a way to get sound through my old receiver while controlling the sound from the tv?
-am i going to buy a new receiver to get this work?
