OK So the new LG 32" TV is mounted on the wall.

Set up required a modest brain transplant but fairly normal for a

I understand it has an output which can be used with optically fed
earphones.

Anyone care to explain what bits are needed as the on-line manual is
less than helpful.

I suspect it is referring to the limited number of earphones which
come
with a special Bluetooth transmitter which connects to the optical output
of audio devices, TVs etc.
The only make I recall are Sennheiser but there may be others.
You could, perhaps, cobble together a version by getting an optical
to
analogue interface / converter and connecting the output to a Bluetooth
transmitter.
Bluetooth transmitters which take an audio input and generate a
Bluetooth
transmission you can pair with are surprisingly cheap- I recently bought
one of EBay for about £4 to link a TVs audio to an audio system with a
Bluetooth input.


The TV may well have bluetooth built in anyway... what model is it Tim?


LG32LM6300PLA:-) The manual is very unforthcoming but largely my
ignorance (bluetooth 5 is mentioned)
