How connect TV output to JC2bp

@madijay,  As was posted above, I use a 2-channel DAC with Toslink input coming from my LG OLED TV.   The DAC connects to my integrated amplifier.   AND, yes, as posted above, please go into the TV settings and set the digital audio output to PCM.  This is NOT the default setting.   

I also use my TiVo remote to control the volume on the amplifier.   I had to search for a code on the TiVo remote so that the remote  controls the volume on my amplifier.  This combination works perfectly.  

MY single TiVo remote controls the cable box (channel selection, TiVo functions, etc.) and the amplifier volume control.  
 

The Geffen Dolby decoder will work without changing the default setting of the TV's digital audio output, however when the TV's digital audio output is set to "PCM" any 2 channel DAC with optical input will work.

Please call we set these up for clients all the time you need a geffen Dolby decoder we sell them

This will take the optical out and convert to analog

You can use the headphone output plug on the Sony. That’s how I do it!

Thanks! That makes sense.

You need a basic 2 channel DAC with optical input and an optical cable.

Here’s a decent budget DAC for $23 with a cable or $18 without a cable. I have one of these and it did come with a power supply but there seems to be some conflicting information on the Amazon page. And yes, you can go for a more expensive DAC, but this one will solve the problem.

The L&R output of the DAC connects to your preamp with a standard RCA audio cable.

Also, and very important - You will need to go into the settings of the TV and set the digital audio output to PCM. This is not the default setting.
