i've bought a tv with no headphone socket.can i use the audio out connections (red and white) to plug into a wireless headphone base ?

or is their another way that i can use my wired headphones using the audio out ?

thanks

sounds perfect to me,i use wireless dolby headphones,i've got red and white attached to the tv [i use this set up for pc sound] and the other end of the cable goes into the base unit for the headphones.

I can also connect optical cable and coaxial cable to the base unit.

Assuming you have a separate freeview/pvr box you could also plug the wireless headphones into its audio output sockets at the back. That's how I have mine connected, then there's no 'ugly' wires coming out the side of the TV (this route would only provide sound for TV broadcasts though, not VCR or DVD playback).

In both cases, TV or digital tuner box, the sound level coming out of the audio sockets is fixed, you can adjust it higher if preferred from within the TV (or tuner) onscreen menu. Thereafter you adjust the volume up or down via the headphones themselves.

To use wired headphones you'd need to buy a special lead which has a stereo minijack socket at one end (which you'd plug your wired headphones into). The volume control could only be adjusted using the TV's onscreen menu. But there's also small headphone amplifier units you can buy from places like Maplin, which wire up to the audio output sockets and provide a rotary volume control or RC.
