I'm sure the op will thank you for that helpful comment

I was not aware that HD tv's ever came without HDMI sockets, I have a 37" HD monitor that does not come with one but that is because it's not a TV.

A 3.5mm jack on and optical cable will do nothing, this is because it's optical, it works by sending light through the cable,like fibre optics so putting a 3.5mm jack on the end would just stop the light source, you should just be able to use audio cables from the box to the tv.
What is the exact model of the tv? also have you tried reading the manual?
