You're in for a tough time. When I last tried to use my White Phantom as a center speaker, using an ADC-Optical converter on the Center Channel Output, my Denon 3800 receiver couldn't cope with the extreme latency/delay it introduced.
You should at least try feeding just one Phantom with the TV/Receiver sound in the simplest way possible, to verify that you don't perceive any lip sync issues, before you go down the multi-channel route.
I think the only successful deployments of Phantoms as surround sound are with HTPC setups (where delays are much more controllable), or highly specialised processor boards that can output digital signals for each channel.
