Connecting Philips Home Theather to Cable Box

I received the philips sound bar and subwoofer and I'm trying to connect it to the direct tv cable box.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I can't connect the theather directly to my tv because the digital output is optical. So I figure I can do it through the cable box.  Please help.
