TV headphones without muting the main sound

[Franziskaner]

hello. I ask you …. if the euro-connector is an input? to which device do you have it connected? and that device (I assume a DVD) does not have an audio output

But it always pulls the audio signal even if you're not using that input?
you'll always go to bed knowing one more thing, curious!!

according to cobito's excellent contribution something like this

right?

not?

with that he would have to get up to press the IN/OUT switch every time he wanted to use the headphones or the euroconnector input and, for example, he could not listen to the DVD through the headphones. What he would have to do is, by dismantling the euroconnector connector, wire the pin 1 and 3 to a mini-jack/female jack by putting a potentiometer to be able to turn the volume up or down, not cobito?

That set is missing precisely an RCA -> headphone jack adapter. Also if the TV has a single euroconnector (I assume for a dvd or a pay TV receiver), you would have to find a way to connect both things at the same time, which means tinkering a bit.

Always. That's how, for example, analog Canal + was decoded automatically without having to turn anything on or change the input or output of anything. You just plugged in the C+ and the decoder received the encoded signal sending it decoded.

I think not :mudo: if it is as I think it is (male and female) when I put it in "out" he will hear the TV and when I put it in "in" he will hear the DVD (for example)

the white and red RCA is audio, right? and that adapter that has two RCA to jack (male, that's the problem) what is it?

@cobito:

I think I misunderstood you :wall: the solution you give cobito is to buy another gadget and the link I put is not cheap, I suppose they will sell the same thing but without cables and the adapter I was referring to was this

in any case, I was thinking that the headphone cable probably won't reach from the TV to the sofa and therefore the logical solution would be a long female jack to female jack, right?

This type of adapters are usually used to connect portable players (walkman, discman, ipod, etc.) to HIFI equipment and also to connect computers to 5.1 equipment.

If the sound coming from the device previously connected by euroconnector is not going to be output through headphones, I suppose that with the adapter you have put (scar to rca) along with a multiplier with a euroconnector switch, it will be enough.

the only flaw it has (which happens to me on my LG TV, which I have to do this trick) is that it is only good for watching/listening to TV channels.
If you connect a movie via DVD, or USB (which the TV plays movies through the USB port) the sound does not come out through the euroconnector.

hello. do you have the DVD connected through the euroconnector?

@Franziskaner:

hola. el DVD lo tienes conectado por el euroconector?
saludos

Yes.
I swear that through DVD you can't hear it (I think I tried it in its day, although I already have it disconnected) now I only use the USB and what I play from the USB I can't hear.

Thank you very much to all of you for responding, really. Well, I have tried with euroconector replacing the one I have (I have a TDT receiver); I have put said connector with audio outputs like the one that cobito passed from ebay to some wireless ones that I had before and nothing...

I am considering the possibility that if I had the opportunity I would get some wireless ones with a Digital input to put them through that Output that the TV has directly... But I see that besides being expensive, they are not very easy to find...

I will continue trying different combinations to see if I reach a good port with the issue.

Thanks!

It is rare that it does not work because although the SCAR is not used much anymore, it is still the means of communication between the TV and standard definition recording devices and the fact that it comes out what is seen is important for the functioning of this equipment.

And don't you have a 2.1 or 2.0 sound system nearby that you're not using? You get a splitter that costs next to nothing, and you plug in your headphones on one side and the sound from the 2.1 or 2.0 (or even a music system, with a mini-jack to mini-jack auxiliary cable) on the other, and you plug the splitter directly into the TV's audio output, solving the problem of the sound being too low. It's not the most orthodox solution, but it definitely works and at a very low cost. Moreover, you will probably even gain sound power by connecting it to a music system...
