Headphones to be used with a TV

dantheman2010

Hi all

I am trying to get a set of headphones to work on an unbranded TV.

There is no usual headphone port like there is on my decent TV downstairs.

I have attached a photo of what options I have with the TV, I did buy an RCA cable with the red and white ports to plug into the red and white section on the side of the TV, do I also need one with the yellow port (CVBS IN) too?

I really would appreciate your help.

Thanks

Those are all inputs not outputs, if I am not mistaken, so will be of no use to you. Any other sockets?

Only on the bottom, which is PC in put.

Looks like no output then - sadly.

Damn it, no way around that then?

Hi,

have you a spare scart socket, you could maybe use something like this,

If you have no more sockets of any description then I think not.

I thought you said you had no other sockets?
Oh well you could use the SCART as advised above

Sorry didnt think about the scart. What would the other end of the cable be? So I know what to search for on eBay?

googler

The SCART will have a fixed level audio output (no control over volume, not even from the TVs volume control), and will probably be too weak to operate a set of headphones.

OP needs to get a SCART to Twin Phono lead, and a headphone amplifier, many of which are available through HiFi stores and websites.

One of these to plug into the SCART socket

Plug the red and white phonos into the inputs on the headphone amplifier, and the headphones into this. In order to control volume from your seat, you probably want a twin phono extension lead so that the headphone amp is next to you.

This would do for a headphone amp - others are available
