Television audio output

[Sweet G]

My TV doesnt have a jack specifically to plug headphones into. It does have 2 rows of Yellow/Red/White sockets on the back. Beside these sockets there is a speaker icon. Is there a way I can use my headphones using these sockets??

 

Thanks

No, unfortunately not. These are signal outputs or indeed inputs that have no power make headphones or speakers work by themselves, you would need some sort of amplification inbetween.

Sorry Rooser, you are wrong about the amplification part. Headphones need no amplifier in the equation.

Sweet G, all you need is a cable to link 2 'Phono' plugs (the Yellow Red White ones) to one female headphone socket

The lead you need is kind of like this one;

Except that the mini jack end needs to be 'female'. i.e allow you to plaug your headphones into it.

Try Giving Maplin's a ring on 0870 4296000 and explain what you are after, I'm sure they can supply you.

Good Luck.

Cheers Headtime, I shall give that a go.

In which case the red and white phono plugs from a CD/Tape player can be plugged straight into a pair of headphones too? In which case how would adjust the volume?

Your website deals with a lead for recording purposes, not listening.
