Trying to get surroundsound through the Samsung TV with my Yamaha receiver how to go about it

Solution
Without model numbers we can give you an exact answer.
In general your TV will have an audio output (headphone/analog, coax digital, or optical digital).
If your receiver doesn't have the matching input you would need an active converter.
The most common audio output on TVs is optical audio. The owners manual will tell you how to use it. The receiver manual will tell you how to assign the connection (optical 1) to an input (TV).
