need help connecting a new Comcast cable box with only HDMI inputs to component surround sound system.

I have a new Comcast cable box that only has HDMI inputs so I cannot plug in my component cables from my old surround sound system. What kind of adapter do I need?

Hookup HDMI directly to TV, let the TV do the video switching, then connect comcast toslink/rca to receiver letting the receiver do the audio switching. Program your universal remote to send 2 signals, once to the TV, then to the receiver.
