So I've been looking into buying some surround sound kit for a little while but as a stop gap, found this monstrosity in my parent's storage shed which I thought could serve as a stop-gap until I make my mind up/finances improve.

It's a little old, so I was sceptical about it working but plugged my phone in via aux and it works fine. However, no such luck direct from my TV using red/white component cables (the only input on the 5.1 system), which is leading me to wonder if that's not a viable way to do it.
So I have HDMI out from Sky+ box to my TV (Samsung H6400) which obviously carries video and audio. Plugging the red/white component cables into my Sky+ box has worked and I get audio into the 5.1 system fine from that.
However, I won't then be able to get this audio when I watch stuff on my TV not through the Sky box - e.g. stuff from my Plex library via the Samsung plex app, or netflix.
Is there any way I can get sound output from the TV direct to the 5.1 system?
