We got a sound bar for our tv that uses the only audio-out (red &amp; white male) jacks my husband needs for his headphones. Would this work?

The sound bar audio out ports are larger than a standard headphone port, so it will not work.

Yes. It worked for me. But the TV must output PCM (not Dolby Digital.) My TV's TOSLINK output is going thru a 2-way splitter. One to Soundbar and one to Sennheiser headset via Sanoxy converter.

Leslie..you need to run your headphones through your audio receiver and not the tv...this should work..if you do not have a audio receiver,then you have to use audio input jacks to your tv....hope this helps.

They might help. You would still have to plug the headphones into the tv. The cord might not reach. Also, once you plug into the audio jack, no one else will be able to hear anything. If you have a newer model tv, I have to believe there are other products that would work.

the short answer is no. but it can work if you just buy an extra piece of wire about $4.00 just look in the search for rca to 3.5 mm male jack

If your tv doesn't have any alternate sound out option a sound bar wont work sir. You have to have coax (red, white,) cable ports minimum. Best are hdmi and optical ports. As long as you have something from your Tele to the shins system all others will come through. (Royku etc)

This device is for RCA video wire splitter it will not accommodate headphones. You would need a TV that has a headphone jack or you can connect a amplifier with a headphone jack to your TV.

I don't see any reason why it would not work provided you have the appropriate speaker out terminals. Not having tried it with a receiver, I can't say just what issues may or may not arise from the double volume controls when using speaker out terminals. To the best of my knowledge the sound bar is designed to be used with input from either optical or analog (RCA) line out.

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.

Depends on what type of AUDIO OUTPUT jack(s) are on the TV. Some have 2 RCA's (like mine) and some have a single jack (if mini, then this is what you need). Some TV's (like mine) have both.

It only has 2 inputs, a jack 3.5mm (the headphone connector male to male) and an RCA aux (the white and red cable), if your TV has either of these connections it will work, and it's pretty good I really like it for my home theater/cave man, enjoy it

Dear James, Thanks for your inquiry. If you are going to use the headphone jack, you're going to probably come close to maxing the volume in the television itself so more signal gets into the soundbar. Does your TV have an optical audio output? That would be a better option.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

If your TV is a regular TV there should be two audio "outs." One is the standard red and white "RCA" jacks. The other should be the "digital or optical" out jack that is primarily used to connect high-end home theater units or speaker bars. I have a two Vizio TVs. One is about 4 years old and there isn't the digital out jack. My newer one has it that I hooked up a speaker bar to. I didn't buy the one with the subwoofer, so I wasted my money. I instead bought this cable, an audio converter, digital to analog, and hooked up some regular computer speakers and have the full theater sound without the big price.

I can't say without knowing your hookups on your TV. I can say yes if you have the red and white jacks for audio it will definitely work fine. There is hdmi as well and another audio out jack that is a single plug with a male type jack that will plug in. I hope this info helps you.

There is an HDMI plug - wouldn't that hook up to a sound bar? Also a headphone jack.

This won't work. There is only one hdmi on the sound bar. Its actually a dumb design on Philips part. You also have the option of rca from the tv to the sound bar.

Hi, As long as your TV has a ( Audio Out ) connection you should be able to connect this sound bar. The Sound bar has a Small ( Audio In ) connector, This type of connector looks like the single poll sized connector used on a lot of computer sound in jacks. If your TV has a RCA type of ( Audio Out ) connections =if it has two connections,( a Red and a White ) audio out jacks like my tv has you can buy an adaptor cable that has the two Red and White RCA plugs on one end that will plug into your TV and the the small single plug jack on the other end that will plug into this sound bar. This is how I set it up with my TV. The sound bar works really good with very good loud and clear sound. It was well worth the money in my opinion. I hope this helps you with your decision.
