Connecting Headphones Or Analog Soundbar; Connecting An Av Receiver Or Digital Soundbar - Philips 5600 Series User Manual

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.
Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the
Warning:
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.
