so the jacks on the back of the EQ are phono/RCA jacks. Line level only and used for hooking up inputs or outputs from other components like Record Players or CD players. You might be able to plug your TV into it assuming you have RCA/phono jacks for output. They are obsolete you might be able to get something to convert HDMI to phono or something similiar. Also LXI is to Sears as what Optimus and Realistic was to Radio Shack. LXI just was a rebrand, look up the model number and you might be able to cross reference who actually made that setup.

I figured that out about the ports on the back. I plan on getting a cable that lets you connect an iPod to the stereo.

I am not familiar with the iPod but you could use a 3.5mm to RCA cable. They sell them on amazon and ebay. I have used one to connect my phone to my vintage amp or even my laptop. Works fine.

Looks possibly like Sanyo that was rebranded to sell at Sears. Often electrical items were made elsewhere then just given the name of a company or store.
