So I got an HD-A2 (with the optical audio out), an LCD TV with no HDMI/optical/digital coaxial out, and I also have a Philips HTS3555/37 which has a digital coaxial in.

What do I need to fully enjoy the surround sound from the HD-A2??? :

since you're home theater system has no optical input you'll need this.

It's a optical to coaxial converter. This is you're cheapest solution anything else will involve you getting a new home theater receiver.
