the tv does have an optical output according to the website, it may just look hidden because of the coloring of the cover.

according to a picture i saw its on the side of the tv bellow the two usb ports

Specifiaction says that this TV has optical out.
In the support video on this page you can see it around 0:12.

Connect this output with optical in the soundbar.

Hi
According to the specifications for that tv on samsungs website it has an optical audio output.
Since your sound bar has an optical in then problem solved.

I don't have any optical outputs or even HDMI on the side of the tv. (unless they are covered)
There are no connections on either side.
They only tv I found on Samsung website is a 6003F, mine is a 6002F

It looks like this is the same TV as yours:

One of the pictures clearly shows audio optical out:

you might need to get an optical toslink switcher and plug each of your devices through the switcher into the soundbar, it does seem very strange that it did not come with an optical output.

my only problem is I have to connect two devices with inputs.
I need an adapter or hub with 1 or two inputs and at least two outputs. (if that makes sense)

You can't do that. Even if you use the switch/hub/whatever it won't work.
If both devices have (digital) inputs they are set to RECEIVE not generate signal. If you have listeners on both ends of wire, where will the the signal come from? Outer space?

what devices do you mean since most set top boxes, players and games consoles tend to have outputs, only av receivers and soundbars etc tend to have inputs.

All I want to do is hook my soundbar to my tv...but both of these have "input" only.

1. soundbar has 3 'inputs" - optical in, coaxial in, and analog in.
2. see picture above of my tv on photobucket....all inputs

you cant basically, you will only be able to use your soundbar with satellite/tv tuner, consoles and players.
