Yes, you are correct: the only audio output this LG tv has is an optical/TOSLINK one. Just use a fiber cable between the tv and the HK. You use this connection to play on the HK the sound from the tv channel - they selected to use this type of connector because modern HD channels have 5.1 sound while the tv and its possible RCA output connectors are just stereo.
You connect the DVR this way: an S-Video cable and a TOSLINK between the DVR and HK , and an single RCA Composite (yellow) video cable between the HK and the LG tv.
Hi,
You don't output from the tv to the receiver to get surround sound. you would either output from you cable/satellite box and/or your dvd player to the surround sound via the optical. Then you can from the monitor out on the receiver to the input on the tv. If you need any further assistance please let me know.
Thank you,
Lee

So How do I connect it using just a DVR player with no Optic connections ?
Yes I found I was able to connect from my TV directly to my receiver. My 2 optic inputs in the back of my receiver were not working, Had to use the 3rd optic input in the frount
