So, let me see if I understand the situation. The 3.5mm jack on the
back of the TV is the ONLY means of getting audio out from the TV.
And, that jack is the only audio out that will also carry content
from the satellite and DVD player. And, if something is plugged into
that jack then the TV speakers are silenced. Is this right?
So, I guess you have to use that single jack for both purposes. Then
the only way for your dad to listen using bluetooth headphones and
others to listen at the same time by speakers is to split the audio
signal coming out from that jack. Here's a couple options as I see them:
1. Use a simple headphone splitter making 2 3.5mm audio jacks. One
can be used for his bluetooth headphones transmitter and the other
can go to a powered speaker using a patch cord or a second bluetooth
transmitter and using a bluetooth speaker.
2. Or, you could use that jack to connect audio into a small
amplifier. Then you could connect both the bluetooth headphones and
any speaker system you care to use.
HTH,

Hi
My dad has problems hearing the tv, he has just got a set of
bluetooth headphones but he doesn't want to use the 3.5 ml
jack on the back of the tv, he would rather use the phono
connections on the tv but there are 5 connections but
according to the tv manual they are only for receiving audio
and not transmitting audio. We have tried using them but the
sound from the tv doesn't come through the audio part of the
5 set of phono connections. According to the manual you have
to use a pair of two plugs plus a set of 3 but they are not
audio out. If we plug the headphones in the rear of the
satellite box, the headphones work perfectly but he cannot
get the sound from the dvd through the satellite, only
through the tv. The dvd doesn't have a scart connection on
it, only hdmi. The satellite doesn't have a hdmi connection
only scart and one pair of phono connectors. We have looked
at hdmi to scart converters, they are very expensive. On my
own tv setup I have the tv and dvd connected to the
satellite and I am able to hear everything through my
surround system. According to the questions and answers
concerning the particular headphones the senheizer rs170,
you can get a special adapter that creates another 3.5 ml
connection on the rear of the tv but I know little about
this kind of thing. Dad doesn't want to have to keep
unplugging the headphones from the tv, plus if we all want
to listen to the tv, it won't be possible without several
sets of headphones, what is the best way around this please?
Dad is insisting on using the phono connections. Help!!
Regards
Adrien
