Connecting a headset to LG TV
Hello,
Despite carefully reading all the discussions, I don't understand much... My TV doesn't have a jack or a SCART socket... the RCA Jack connection provided with my headset doesn't work, if I understood correctly because on the LG65uk6300plb TV, the jack sockets are inputs and not outputs!!! But damn, can't they keep it simple? On my Samsung, it was perfect.
So now I have a nice TV but no possibility to use my almost-new headset??
Is there any way?
Thanks in advance, Thierry

Hello and welcome to this forum,
Your TV has a digital optical output
Buy a DAC ( = Digital to Analog Converter, in French Convertisseur de numérique à analogique )
-To connect a wired headset:
https://www.amazon.fr/Convertisseur-Analogique-Adaptateur-dAlimentation-dAluminium/dp/B06XHRYW2C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1526570340&sr=8-4&keywords=audio+dac&dpID=41XrYH43YXL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Connect the supplied optical cable between the "Digital Optical" output of the TV and the DAC, plug in the headset to the DAC's headphone output, and adjust the headphone volume with the small potentiometer on the DAC
-For a wireless headset:
Buy a DAC ( = Digital to Analog Converter, in French Convertisseur de numérique à analogique )
https://www.amazon.fr/analogique-convertisseur-adaptateur-amplificateurs-dalimentation/dp/B00KNNSKV0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1508597697&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=audio+dac&psc=1
Connect the supplied optical cable between the "Digital Optical" output of the TV and the DAC, plug in the headset to the DAC's headphone output
For power, use a free USB port on the TV, or buy a 220-> USB adapter:
https://www.amazon.fr/Chargeur-Adaptateur-secteur-USB-Universel/dp/B004QH53QE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484385180&sr=8-2&keywords=prise+220v+usb
A configuration might be needed in the audio menu of the TV if it doesn't work right away.
This setup does not automatically disconnect the TV speakers
