h just so ya know HDMI 1 is the 1 we are interested in here. That's the
1 that has ARC. But and I forget now the other name of something else
Visio TVs will want you to turn on as well. We delt with this because
mom got a few mother's days ago a smart TV.

Hi, and thanks for looking. I can not find any earphone output on the
front surface of the set, so if it is there, it is well hidden. The only
HDMI connectors I find are on the back, and the HDMI
are in a line from bottom to top number 1 2 and 3.
take care and thanks again for all the help.

The optical digital output socket should be on the rear of your set.
It seems there’s an analogue 3.5MM socket on the front of the set for
headphones.
The manual is a little confusing so I can’t say for sure what other
sockets are on the rear of the Television apart fro at least 1 hDMI
input - also on the front -, an LAN port and the power socket.

The Optical Digital connector looks different from other connectors.
Its a square connector and in some cases may be covered by a flap
which opens when an optical connector itself is inserted, much like
the old car cassette players we used opened when a cassette was
pushed against the flap.
The Optical out jack could also possibly take the form of a 3.5MM
minijack, this arrangement is used to provide both analogue and
digital audio out form the same jack.

I found the light on the back of the TV close to the other
connectors, is that the optical digital connector for audio? This
is a technology I am totally not familiar with, so I wish to
learn! I expect that in some ways it is kind of like Bluetooth?
just speculating as to how it connects to speakers or is it
somewhat like an infrared connection to remotes where any
interaction with the lights . . .
anyway, thanks guys for your patience with me in all this.

So there we are, that’s the first I’ve ever heard of a TV having
a HDMI out and obviously some do however the more common standard
for audio is an optical out and at least one HDMI input, I’m
willing to bet that the tV we’re discussing has at least and
possibly more.
So the idea being that the TV is connected for audio purposes to
the Soundbar or speaker system with an Optical Digital cable.
That way - if required - the soundbar/speakers can get extra
effects that Digital TV now offers.

We have a Sony TV that we got a little over three years ago. The
installers gave me an HDMI cable (looks home made) with RCA male
jacks on the other end. I plug them into my stereo auxilary
inputs and, of course, have window-rattling speakers on the
other end.. The three RCA females on the TV are for input
only. Other ways of input are through HDMI connections.

Oh and as a footnote.
Most Soundbars as far as I know take a digital audio feed
from your Televisions so your Television will more than
likely have at least a digital audio output.

thanks, these "sound bars," as such, the name confuses me,
is it confined to a small area like a bar meaning length of
the bar, or would you define it? Seems the TV has analog
outputs, but they are RCA and don't change with the TV
volume, other wise it'd be easy. I don't know if the TV has
blue tooth or not. :) thanks

The first thing you will need to do is to work out whether
the TV has a digital or analogue out.
Then perhaps go looking for a Soundbar.
These are quite cheap now and no, we???re not talking about
surround sound necessarily unless you really want that.
I???ve seen 2.1 channel soundboards about the place which
work quite well.
The other option might be getting something like a Key Egg
system which is effectively a small bookshelf system so you
could put each speaker on either side of the television.

Hi! Last week about this time I won a 50 inch 4K ultra
Vizio smart TV, and need some speakers. We don't need
surround sound just simple and sounding good. I think the
back of the TV has RCA jacks for audio, but the output is
not variable from them so I suppose there should be a
remote which can be then handled by the main remote for
volume from the cable box. We have Spectrum out here, so
the cable box now talks. So please, suggest what you
recommend I buy. My wife is getting impatient, :) (sort
of) but we wish something decent sounding which I know you
guys understand. :)
THANKS and please believe me, I sort of feel in a void as
to what to look for, and where to find it. Amazon is good
for us.
