The T3R only has an HDMI output, which carries a digital signal. If your Sony TV has an HDMI input then, fairly obviously, you simply need an HDMI cable. However if the only input on your TV set is a Scart one, then you can't simply connect a cable between the two devices because a Scart signal is an analogue one. The only way you can do the job is to insert a little box...

"Old Sony TV"...depends on how old and, more importantly, exactly what sockets the TV has. You need to look at the manual...or at the back of the set.

However if the only input on your TV set is a Scart one, then you can't simply connect a cable between the two devices because a Scart signal is an analogue one. The only way you can do the job is to insert a little box of tricks in between the two, which converts a digital signal into an analogue one for you. e.g. this would fulfil the role well:

(You'll then an HDMI cable from the T3R to that device and a Scart lead to run from it to your TV).

[Note: If you decide to look for a cheaper one somewhere, make sure that you buy an 'HDMI to Scart' model and not a 'Scart to HDMI' one, as the boxes only work in one direction. Further, many cheap models don't come with a power supply, meaning that you need to provide a USB socket and lead to power the box up. The one I've linked to comes with its power supply included in the price].
