Great ok, well you have two options. Youcould either use a 3/4" jack to 3/4" jack cable from the headphone OUTPUT (from tv) to the INPUT on the soundbar, or you could use a bluetooth transmitter that you can plug into the headphone output on your TV, and link that via bluetooth to the soundbar.
I would recommend using the jack cable if you would like a simpler way of connecting.
Have a look at this link:

You really do not need to apologise bless you, this is what the forum is for. I ask many questions myself on various other subjects!
I feel i am slowly getting out of touch now, and im 35!
Anyway, let me know how you get on! Greetings from London UK!
