Hello,

I've been looking here for a long time, but I can't bring myself to give up...
Toulouse
My TV mentioned in the title doesn't have, based on everything I've tried and read, a jack for the Sennheiser headphones I just bought (so I can watch my movies without bothering my neighbors).

This model is from 2009 and is it lacking this headphone jack?
Who could reassure me and tell me how to solve this awful and unfair puzzle?

Thank you very much in advance, Babeth.

Hello,

The reference is Le32E450 or Le32C450... or Le32B450?? because I can't find it

and these TVs are listed
Audio Outputs: Digital Optical (x1) • RCA Stereo (x1)


So there is an audio output on these TVs..

I believe I mentioned it to you in baladur13's message, I took a photo of the back of my TV.

Hello,

If there is a jack plug on your headset (mini jack or jack?) and not on your TV, you could try, if you have RCA out jacks, a double RCA to female jack converter.

However, for all these connections, nothing is ever guaranteed; only a test can validate the solution.

Best regards

Thank you, but I don't understand what a jack plug is...
My headphones are Sennheiser 65 TV and the sound is recognized when I plug them into my mobile phone, but nothing comes out of the red or yellow jacks on the side of my TV...

Hi,
Your headset has a very standard 3.5mm jack plug. If you only have RCA OUT as analog outputs on your TV, then you indeed need to use an adapter (and not a converter, if we're being nitpicky, as it doesn't convert anything like, for example, an A/D converter; here only the pins are rearranged for the connectors, and there is no electronics between the two sides).

But be careful with the volume, the RCA outputs on TVs are sometimes pre-amplified to go directly into an amplifier.

Thank you! I don’t know what RCA means either, it’s becoming problematic... AUDIO OUT, that’s what’s on the back of this TV.
And if I need an adapter, what do you suggest?

No, this is precisely to convert a digital signal to analog (or the other way around, I haven't looked too closely).

Let's explain things correctly:
The RCA jacks refer to the two white and red jacks side by side.
The jack is like the end of your headphones that you plugged into your phone.

You have 2 RCA outputs. One pair on the side of your TV, next to a similar yellow jack for composite video. You also have a pair at the back next to the YUV jacks (the three red, green, and blue jacks). The RCA pair on the side of the TV is intended for an input, with sound going into the TV. So that doesn't concern us. You need to use the RCA pair located at the back of the TV, next to the YUV as mentioned before.

For that, you need to use a RCA to jack cable.
You have one here:
https://www.amazon.fr/Universal-st%C3%A9r%C3%A9o-Femelle-Adaptateur-Couleur/dp/B07L85QDKJ/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=rca+vers+jack+femelle&qid=1558890226&s=gateway&sr=8-1
(this cable should be short enough, take a longer one if necessary).

You plug the red and white RCA into the output at the back of the TV, and you plug your headphones into the other end of the cable (female jack).

I try to be as clear as possible, don't hesitate to ask if something is not well understood.

A male mini-jack or jack connector


Most mobile phones have a female mini-jack socket

Two male RCA connectors (or cinch) for left and right audio

Most audio/video devices have female RCA sockets. These can be input (IN) or output (OUT) sockets

Your RCA AUT should be OUT (the connectors to use in your case) or AUX, but we cannot determine precisely without the documentation whether it's an input or an output.

Here's the type of adapter I was thinking of: https://www.amazon.fr/Femelle-Double-Cinch-Fiches-adaptateur/dp/B007OH4B2A

But it needs to be tested, because as AluMinioume points out, we don't know if the TV volume control will control the output level on the RCA sockets, or if it's up to the connected device to manage the sound level.

Two coherent explanations that go in the same direction are worth more than one ;-)

On the other hand, I think you’re talking about the big 6.35mm jack, but it's almost disappeared except on amplification and professional equipment. Especially in TVs, phones, and headphones (public side) there’s only the mini jack left (which is quite ambiguous since the 2.5mm jack is even smaller than the 3.5mm mini jack, and it's almost vanished as well, for our greater good).

yes, but I'm from the era of the headphone jack on the hi-fi system and the mini jack on the 80s walkmans.

A solution that was already studied, on the same topic, two days ago by @baladur here https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-36036272-prise-audio-sur-starsatt14-pour-appareil-mal-entendant-amplicoms#p36040669, it just took a little bit of searching.

For your information, all contemporary smartphones still have a 3.5mm headphone jack, which avoids making a long distance from your pocket to your ear... and we are not necessarily T-Rexes either.

The optical connection works with this TV, to any type of headphones, according to @baladur.

Thank you.

Any type of headset with a digital-to-analog adapter if the headset does not have an optical (or coaxial) input.

I spent hours, including on the message from baladur13, reading and rereading, but I don't know anything about the terms used if there are no photos...
Luckily, AluMinioume and jee pee understood my ignorance and provided links and photos, a thousand thanks to them...
I just bought this: https://www.amazon.fr/Convertisseur-Numérique-Analogique-ajustable-Digital/dp/B074881MN6/ref=pd_ybh_a_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PYA9EAQKA2871PBJGFH3

Hello,
I just looked at this famous Samsung TV LE32B450
According to the manual (in English) on page 3, it has two types of outputs
Stereo with RCA jacks labeled Audio Out L and R and an optical output labeled Digital Audio Out (Optical) see the excerpt from the manual below
As a result, this TV can operate headphones with a simple cable like this one (it has already been mentioned before)
https://www.amazon.fr/C%C3%A2ble-Adaptateur-Jack-3-5mm-St%C3%A9r%C3%A9o/dp/B00NIV59S6
The optical to analog converter like the one (described as purchased) in message 22 will also work but was not a necessity.
A simple cable was enough

The manual: https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200903/20090326221451156/BN68-01981D-01Eng-0305.pdf

Thank you!!! But in the photo, the steel jack is male and I need a female connection to plug in my headset jack, right?
Here are the mistakes when you don’t understand anything and mix everything up...

AluMinoune advised me this cable, what should I do? :

OK I thought the headset was connected by a Jack/jack cable...
AluMinioume gave an example of what is needed in message 9 and Jee Pee in message 10 (link to Amazon)

You see that I pay attention to what I'm told: no jack-to-jack cable, but now I don't know what to do...

Hello and a thousand thanks to everyone who helped me!!!

I ordered and received the cable mentioned by baladur13 in point 31, perfect for finally hearing sound in my "luxury" headphones (even though the phone's earbuds work just as well...).

However, don't forget to go into the TV settings to change the sound output: select the external speakers and raise the volume, which is a bit low.
