Well, I've stumbled upon a set of LG surround sound speakers for 50 pounds, there's only one problem...He's not including the DVD player portion, which he's taken to use himself, just the speakers. I was fine with that, I've got 3 DVD players and a DVD recorder so that isn't gonna do me much good. Got a phonecall again today from him and asked a simple question "it comes with a remote, right?" to which I was met with a big, fat "no".
So I guess the only way to control these was meant to be with the DVD player that was included with the speakers, which he's not included, I was told that I could "set it up to work through a DVD/CD player" which I stated many times "I don't watch many movies, I listen to music through my PC/HI-FI, I want my surround sound going through my TV, where ALL of my stuff works through" it didn't seem to work, next I was told I could use it with SKY Digital...So I just gave up, said I'll phone back and say whether or not I want them.
So this is now where I ask you, the AVforums community, this simple question. Can I control a set of LG speakers connected via an optical output from the TV to the speakers, with my television remote?
The TV in question is this:

speakers in question are these (without the DVD player part):

thank you for your time, sorry if this isn't the right place to post this
Edit: Oh and according to the guy selling them, all the inputs are on the subwoofer (optical etc) though that may not be the truth, but it's what I was told
