KEF 107 and Kube setup

I ran into some problems helping my parents connect their new TV to their old unused home theater system. The KEF 107's fill the room very well but vocals from both music and movies sound muffled.

I also found the corresponding Kube which they never used but I'm having trouble getting it to work. The only audio source is the TV connected to a Sony V555ES via digital optical audio. Connecting the Kube to the Pre Out (Front) nor the tape in/outs work. There doesn't seem to be a tape monitor button or a pre amp in so I can't figure out how to get the signal into the Kube and then back to the receiver. Thanks!

Here's a link to the receiver's manual for reference:https://docs.sony.com/release//STRV555ES.PDF

Some AV receiver can’t use tape loop for digital input sources. If your TV has analog audio output ( usually a 3.5mm phone jack ), connect the TV via a 3.5mm to rca cable instead of digital optical.

Maybe you can use the internal AM/FM tuner to test the Kube via Dat or Tape loop.
