Would this work for my TV with headphone out? My audio out is "fixed" and can't be changed.

Interesting question...The first thing that needs to be considered is the amplitude of the "Fixed" volume of your TV set. Next, you will have to contact the manufacturer of this device to acquire the specs on the amplitude input limits. Otherwise, if both specs align then it should work.

probably. all it does is amplify the signal a bit. It may make your audio out loud enough, it may not. It's only $20, if it does not do what you want, you'll have no problem selling it on eBay - people buy 'em all the time.

Yes. But you will need the type of ear buds or headphones with a built-in volumne control. This device is great at boosting the audio but has a fixed volumne level. Also, it provides three outputs at the same boosted level.

1st a question, does the headphone jack in your TV work ? How loud is the volume coming out of the jack ? It needs to be some what loud. It was my experience that the Boostarroo did not amplify the volume very much at all. The Boostaroo was a better splitter than amplifier.. Good Luck, Mike

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

This soundbar is an analogue device. If your TV has a jack for headphones, then the soundbar will work. Some TVs don't have a headphone jack-one of my TVs does, the other doesn't. Interestingly, the "better" of my TVs (bigger screen, more features) doesn't have an analogue output jack (for headphones).

Hello, You could use either headphone out port or line out port. However, if you use line out, you cannot control output volume. Thank you

if you are on cable or satellite, be sure the headphone transmitter is hooked up to the cable box or satellite receiver and not into your TV. Hopefully this will help.

Input on home sys is high impedance and TV out is low. This could damage one of your devices. I have done it with devices other than TV and stereo. I would not do it for long or often. Go to hi end audio store and ask questions, don't let them give a simple answer.

There is an "audio out" on the back of this TV. It's a 3.5mm stereo plug so as long as you have a standard set of headphones or earbuds with a 3.5mm jack, you should be good. This is the same headphone jack you would find on your phone, iPod, etc.

Yes, assuming your TV has audio outputs, which pretty much every TV has anymore. Check to see if you have red and white round jacks labeled "Audio Out". If so, you're good. One thing to bear in mind is some of the quirks about this unit. Mt review listed some of the idiosyncrasies about this product, but I have to say that the sound quality is quite good for the price. Good luck with whatever decisions you make!

Probably yes, but it depends upon how your source (TV or receiver) that is feeding your speaker handles the output. I have two TV Ears (the headphone type) and both my TVs are able to handle output to the TV Ears (with a constant volume that can be adjusted by the TV Ears) as well as sound from the source that can be muted or turned all the way down. All relatively modern TVs should be able to do this, but it is entirely a function of the sound source and not the TV Ears devices.

I don't believe so, at least not directly.The "audio out" on this set is a proprietary optical audio jack called TOS-LINK (abbreviated version of "Toshiba-Link"). A standard headphone jack (3.5mm) will not fit into, nor produce sound from a TOS-LINK jack.Your only hope, from what I can tell, would be to find an adapter cable with a male end to connect into the television's TOS-LINK outlet and a female end to connect your 3.5mm headphones into. A few quick Google searches didn't produce much of anything worthwhile, so the technology may not exist, but if you find out otherwise, be sure to share!

The TV has a headphone jack on the back. It's the standard 1/8" "stereo" mini phone jack, so it will accept most modern mini phone plug type headphones. For your application, it ought to work fine. What's annoying, for me, is that the jack is on the back of the TV, so to plug and unplug the phones (which disconnect the speaker when they're plugged in - a normal TV feature) you have to turn the TV around and fumble to find the jack every time. Very annoying! If the patient will be using their headphones all of the time, though, this won't be a problem at all, and might actually make for a "cleaner" installation.

Not quite sure but I'll answer on what I think. I have a flat screen HD TV with an audio out. I plugged the transmiter in and the TV Ears works great.

Why yes! It includes a connection cable that has phono jacks on one end and a stereo 1/8 jack on the other. The nice thing is it it reversible. So no matter what type on connection for audio out your tv has the headphone base will work.

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.

If you can find out the size of the port is on your tv it would be nice because you can attach the supplied 6.3mm headphone plug adapter to the 3.5mm headphone plug. So it would either have to be 6.3mm or 3.5mm. Does this help?

Some headphones have a volume adjustment on them otherwise if you have the device connected properly you should be able to turn the volume up on the tv you are connected to. You also might have to turn off the internal tv speaker setting on your tv when using this with newer tvs

Yes, just connect a common audio cable to the "Audio Out" on your TV and to the headphone base. The cable comes with the headphones. Its very easy to install and works great! You can turn the volume all the way down on the TV and use the volume control on the headphones. The sound is far superior to "TV Ears".
