There was a power surge last week which managed to blow out a power strip that these three Crestron boxes were connected to. I took this opportunity to replace our TV and get rid of the useless DVD player and karaoke machine that we never used. So my current set up that I want is this new LG TV connected with a Comcast Xfinity X1 Terminal DVR, a Chromecast, and a PS3.
The problem I have now is that the surround sound speakers are connected to these Crestron boxes which have been rendered useless and I don't know how what to do. I assume my only option is to replace the Crestron boxes. The issue is that I don't know with what because I don't even understand why they were there in the first place. Why can't I just connect the speakers to the optical audio out in the TV?
