Answer
You should be able to run the line out on the SB to the line inputs on the tv but you will need a stereo 1/8" to rca adapter available at radio shack. Then just be sure the Audio and Video inputs are plugged into the same input channel at the tv. If you have to use SVID be sure that channel will work with the channel you use for the sound since you cannot tune to two channels at once. Try to use RCA for all three connections to avoid this issue.
