Can anyone help please?
I have a small Logik TV with DVD player. There is no headphone socket. It has 3 sockets on the back , a yellow one labelled video, a white one labelled L, and a red one labelled R.
I have been looking on Amazon, and found a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable adaptor stereo headphone female jack to 2 male audio lead. If I plug this into the TV and then plug my headphones into it, can I listen to my DVDs through my headphones? Or is this adaptor for putting sound INTO the TV, rather than getting sound out of it, if you see what I mean.
Customer reviews are confusing. I am not very technically minded!
Thanks.

Post the amazon link an will confirm if it’s correct for what you need.
Or you could purchase one of these. One end (L & R) plugs into the back of your tv and the other you plug your headphone into. It comes in 3 different lengths
So sorry, I don’t know how to do a link.
This is the description:-

Hope this helps
Crossed post!
We are both looking at the same one.
So this will work Dodge?
Dodge thank you so much for your reply. I will order one.
It will enable my husband to watch his football on Sky, while I watch my DVDs on the small TV on the coffee table. Everybody happy!
Those sockets on the TV are sound out, designed to go into an external sound system. The sound signal level is low and not controlled by the volume up/down on the remote control.
I think what you might have to do is plug in a soundbar or other audio amplifier that does have an earphone socket.
Well, firstly it needs to be established if that connection on the back of your TV is an input or output.
In Annie’s case it would have to be a headphone amplifier.
Annie, to make sure none of us give you the wrong information, do you know the model number of the Logik TV? There will be a label on the back of the TV or on the base of the TV that will say what the model number of the TV is. Once we know that, we can do checks on the web and find out exactly the right stuff you need.
Model number is L19LDVB11B
Just had a relook at your post more closely and paid more attention to bit in bold. The yellow video socket gives it away. It means those 3 sockets are input, basically for connecting video cameras or other video media device.
There has to be a audio output socket on that TV somewhere. That’s why we need the model number of the TV so we can help you further.
OK, having a look now.
Dodge I have posted model number above. Thanks
Quite right. They are input sockets. Here is the back of the TV (same model number apart from the ‘B’ at the end).
It has an HDMI socket that could be used to get audio out to an external amplifer with a headphone socket. It also has a SCART connector. I have made and/or bought leads that that takes the audio out pins on the SCART plug and converts them to phono leads that can be plugged into an audio amplifier.
Both ways need some sort of audio amplifier though.
Found your TV’s user manual and had a good look through it. I am shocked that it does not have a headphone socket. The bad news is ALL the sockets on the TV are INPUT only, none of them are output. I did have an idea to use an SCART to RCA switchable adapter but again reading the user manual, it states that the SCART socket is input only which I find highly strange because in the manual it states you can connect a VCR which is a recording device as well as a player and a DVD player/recorder.
I am therefore sorry to say that based on what is in the instruction/user manual, there is no way for you to be able to connect as pair of headphones to your TV.
The problem with your suggestions is that the TV has to support both input and output on it’s sockets and I am afraid to say that after finding the manual online and reading through it, ALL the sockets are INPUT only.
Dodge and mart:-
Thank you both for all the trouble you have gone to, I really appreciate it.
Oh well, I will just have to enjoy (suffer) the football every night, unless I banish myself to the bedroom!!
There are usually audio out pins on a SCART socket. Then the audio amp is used for controlling the sound independent of the TV. The volume of the TV can be turned right down and the signal level coming out of the SCART pins remains present and constant. Some TVs allow the internal speaker to be turned off if an external amplifier is being used. There would need to be a headphone socket present on the amplifier as well for this case.
I have done this with a few TVs and it has worked. Here is a SCART lead designed to get audio out (but not amplified audio).

Now you know your TV cannot have headphones, can your partner not wear headphones watching his TV programs?
