How do I listen to this TV with headphones? There's a PC audio output, but my headphones did not have any sound.

Felicity ,The TV unfortunately does not have direct headphone outputs. The jack you are referring to on the TV is actually a 3.5mm PC audio input so your PC can play through TV amp and speakers . On the back of the TV set There are left and right audio ( fixed volume ) outputs. red/white RCA connectors much like you would find on a DVD player or VCR To use headphone you will need an RCA to 3.5mm stereo splitter and 3.5mm male to male cord you could connect these to the TV red white Audio outs on the TV then into a powered PC speaker set that have an 3.5 mm headohone out or an inexpensive headphone amplifier or a wireless headphone set. and plug your headphone into that.You will need these : (1) 3.5mm input to rca splitter (1) 3.5mm Male to Male Stereo Audio Cable they come in various lengths (1) of three either (1) an inexpensive headphone amplifier,OR (1) powered PC speaker with 3.5mm headphone output OR (1) a powered wireless headphone set . all of these items are available here inexpensively at Amazon do you have headphones already ? This can all be done very inexpensively if you search here at Amazon you will find lots of options .

The PC terminal in the back of the T.V. IS for a monitor only and is IN-PUT .For sound you need a splitter adapter for the OUT-PUT audio in the back of the T.V., 3.5mm female to 4 pin male x2 know as "Y" cable for your headphones. Note: Some TV sound cards does not support earphones devices.Check T.V. Specs. or manufacturers accessories.

Check the tv menu for audio options. Maybe there is an option to send the sound to external speakers that may need to select or enable. Make sure you are connecting the wires to the audio out jack and not accidentally into some other jacks.

You can try going into Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound/Manage Audio Devices. You may see speakers and headphones and if you're lucky, you may see your TV is listed. Worth a try.

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.

Usually, plugging something into the headphone jack turns off the speakers. Would make much sense otherwise, right? Test it on your TV with any mini-jack headphones/earbuds.

I just got this email your answer is any headphones will work but you have to connect through a device that you can control the output sound level as there is no control on the tv to do that.

Yes and no. We have a sound system but it is not connected to the TV. The headphones are the type that allow a person to listen to the TV without the sound disturbing another person. He was using them when he got up earlier than me. It appears that the makers of headphones are producing only analog ones; the Radio Shack guy was going to show me digital headphones, but they turned out to be analog connect also. The products that I have been able to find seem to start at $60+; I wouldn't mind the price if I could be sure that the product would work with our set. Thanks for your input.

Unless you can find a way to convert an AV cable to a set of headphones, I can't think of anyway. Have you lucked out at all in trying to find a solution? I have the same problem.

yeah, my smart tv has a headphone connection, i use an extension 3.5mm 6 foot cable and the amp. Its way too low without the amp turned up all the way. Computer doesnt need amp since I have one for it too.

I used hdmi. Get the latest hdmi because some old hdmi won't output the sound.

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

Murray,There is no headphone jack so to use any headphone for listening to the TV, you would need to connect the TOSLINK/Optical output on the side of the TV to an optical audio input of a home theater receiver. From there it's just a matter of selecting the optical input of the receiver as a listening source. Notice that I mentioned "home theater" as opposed to stereo receiver. The former can decode the compressed Dolby Digital surround signal from the sound of some TV broadcasts and DVDs. The latter can't. Some older home theater receivers (pre-Dolby Digital) models don't have fiber optic inputs at all. In that case, you're out of luck.

Okay...we went to a big box store, looked at the LG television and talked with a saleswoman who did seem to know her electronics. Unfortunately, there is no built-in headphone jack for audio out and there are no analog audio outputs. There is only a digital optical output. She did not think that there would be a possibility to find a headphone set that would use this set up except for some that are $100's of dollars. So, no go there for us. However, as an alternative, my spouse suggests these: You could send the optical signal to a compatible hi-fi. If the hi-fi doesn't have optical input, but has co-axial digital input, you can use a $20 converter. Your other option is to get a digital-to-analog converter which is at least $50. Then either use headphones that have an amplifier or output to amplified computer speakers which have a headphone port. Perhaps you could do more research than he has done. Best of luck with your choice. Thanks, Vee, for your enthusiasm with this television.

You need to take the audio cable from the head phones and bring it to Radio Shack. Ask for the audio adopter for TV.

The television does not have a headphone jack. You would need to purchase wireless tv headphones.

Hi Eddie.I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great.Greg

Scotterz is right. If you want to use this headphones, you need an IR transmitter. If your TV have IR transmitting feature, you can buy it.
