I purchased a Sharp Aquos LCD TV, which I will be mounting inside a bathroom wall behind glass -- so its internal speakers will not be usable.
I want to pipe the sound into two basic wall-mounted speakers, which are also built into the wall.
I thought I could do this with a very simple amp that takes RCA left and right output from a TV, amplifies it, and puts the output to the left and right speakers (I actually bought one of these basic boxes for about $40).
When I tried to install it, I realized that the only audio output from the Acquos is digital -- a single-wire coaxial digital audio output.
My question -- what is the simplest way to take a coaxial digital audio signal from the TV, amplify it, and put it through two stereo speakers? Clearly, I could buy a full digital receiver, but that would take a lot of space and would be overkill. Is there a simple solution?
Thanks.
