headphone output? Does this tv have headphone output? One viewer say no but it looks like sony says yes. To those that actually own this tv, can it accept headphones?

I just received this TV. There is one connection on the back that will accept a headphone connection, but it is for PC input, so you won't be getting anything out of it. So far I've found two options for using headphones, and they both need an adapter such as Cables To Go 03182 - 3.5mm Stereo Female to RCA Male Y-Cable (Discontinued by Manufacturer)1. Hook to the TV and change the speakers option to "audio system" instead of "TV speakers." Even with the volume maxed, the output wasn't very loud in my headphones.2. Hook to my DirecTV box, which gives me louder output with no way to control it. I just received this TV.

It needs some kind of adapter that doesn't come with the set. It might come with your headphone? I'd appreciate hearing from someone who knows what adapter we need to get. . .

According to posts in the AVS Forum, headphones can be connected via the RCA analog audio outputs. Are you trying to listen simulataneously via speakers and headphones, though? I'd be interested to know if that is possible without connecting an external sound system. TIA.

Mam I haven't yet purchased this item. However, I am seriously considering it. I see from the picture of the rear that there is not audio output. Most folks have some form of cable/satellite or a component connected to their television. The no audio output problem can be remedied by connecting cable/satellite box to audio receiver or component audio to receiver not television. Just feed in the video into television. That is what I intend to do if this television becomes my final choice. Hope this info helps.

I just double checked and yes it does have a headphone jack. It is located on the back of the tv next to the audio/video connections. I love my tv and for the price you can't beat it.

Most newer TV's don't have a headphone jack. You would have to check your tv for the type of jack(would e the size of an ipod), and if not you can probably buy an adapter. Bot sure of prices but you could find it here on amazon.

This only outputs audio. There is no HDMI out port. To do that you would need an HDMI splitter, and run 1 to the TV and the other to the audio extractor. If you do that, then yes, you can plug headphones into this.

It really does seem like a good Television well worth the price. Apparantly RCA was sold to the Chinese and they renamed her TCL and she supplies the theird world with working low power televisions and are now considering the 4K market lookng and under 1000 or maybe even 500 dollars for 4K displays. all 3 HDMI have audio and yes there is a headphone jack (?!)

What a shame. :(No audio output is definitely a dealbreaker for me. Other than that, this would have been my best option for a TV at the moment.

I have had the Bravia EX400 for about a week and love it. But alas, it does not have variable audio output, only one fixed audio out. This is suprising given all the other options this TV offers. I resorted to using the fixed audio output to my Yamaha receiver. I control the volume with my Yamaha remote. This is definitely worth doing since the TV's speakers have subpar sound quality.I agree with you R. Illingworth-variable audio output should be a standard feature. (Sony does have variable output in more expensive models.)

Does your TV have a headphone jack? They are great headphones with a really long cable so I would imagine they work well but don't have any personal experience in that setting.

The input for this device is the headphone output of source, the TV in question. most TV's today have a headphone jack -- if it does not its not clear how to unless I had the specs of the TV

Would you give me details on how to use the extension cord? What type is it and how to connect to TV & headphone?When I follow manual instruction, sounds come from both TV & headphones. Thanks

Does the PS4 have Audio/video component cables (red/white/yellow; or blue/red/green/white/red)? Does your TV have an audio output or an auxiliary 3.5mm input? As long as a system has any of those it IS compatible. Me has no clue, have not researched the PS4, system, but I do believe that it only supports HDMI. Look for any inputs labeled "output" and report back =^)

I had to connect my aux to my headphone port on my tv to get sound. I couldn't get the Bluetooth to work how about you?

In this day and age, where everything has a headphone jack, you'd think so. I can't imagine why a sound system unit wouldn't have one, but this doesn't. I jacked into my cable box with a wireless headphone set. That only works for the cable TV source. That won't give you sound from the Sony's internet functions like Amazon or Netflix or from a DVD / Blue Ray. Just unthinkable.

My opinion after recently purchasing this television is that some sort of sound enhancer (i.e., external speakers, receiver) is probably necessary. I find myself turning the volume nearing to maximum in order to hear shows and movies. I've owned other Sony televisions and had a similar experience. Great television overall but sound quality is not quite there. Hope you find this helpful.

NO headphones and speakers with LG TV's, just found out the hard way. We had RS120 and you have to go to the back of the TV and unplug the headphones to be able to use the TV speakers. :( Called support and they said customers preferred this). It was an early christmas present so going back or we will have to buy 3 more headsets. ADA issue here.

There is no output labeled "headphones". On the back of the set, where you connect it to either a cable box or the coax, there are two other outputs. One is simply labeled "Audio Out", the other is "PC Audio", which goes with the PC out. There are no connections on the front of the set, or top, left and right sides. My info is based primarily on the documentation that came with it since it was not possible for me to directly look at the back of the set due to its position on a high kitchen shelf.
