Connecting headphones or analog soundbar
You can connect headphones or an analog soundbar (not provided) to the TV's headphone jack.
Tip: Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV's built‐in speakers.
Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest volume setting
on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not affected by TV volume or mute settings
and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want to use your amplifier or
soundbar to control the TV volume. To turn off the TV's built‐in speakers, from the Home screen menu,
navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change the setting.
