In reviewing that TV's owner's manual ....

I wonder if you must disable the TV's internal speakers to get audio via its optical digital audio output?  See p28 of the manual.

 

If that doesn't help, I suggest you visit the relevant thread for that TV at http://www.avsforum.com and see if someone there can help you.

You won't get the best sound feeding the audio system from the TV output.  Best sound would be to get a coax to optical converter and connecting the H25 digital audio out through the convertor to the sound system.
