Now that I've reluctantly joined the ranks of HD-TV viewers I'm somewhat stumped by how to get the sound to my old JBLs without having to spend for modern HT front-ends. Truth be told, I'm enjoying the concerts offered on HD-TV but I can't stand TV speakers.

I'm on Comcast using a Toshiba LCD HD TV with no analog outputs. When I connect the hi-fi (into the Soundcraftsmen Pro-Control Four) to the Comcast box's analog audio outs there is a lag between the audio and the video displayed on the TV with the audio being ahead of the video. TV connection is HDMI out of the Scientific Atlanta box. Any suggestion for why or how to correct it?

I realize taking the audio from the TV should work but this model has only digital outs. Would something as simple as this little blob from Parts Express do the job (click the photo link)? Any other suggestions on the cheap?
