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.


As others have said, the optical output is the high-quality connection
to something like a soundbar, or possibly a higher-end adapter such as a
Bluetooth sender. Your TV probably has Bluetooth output anyway.

If you set your Bluetooth headphones to the 'pair' setting, the TV
should pick this up and you'll get an on-screen message to accept this.
Select 'Yes' and you're away. Adjust the volume using the remote.

If you press the 'Settings' button on the remote, it will bring up a
menu on the LHS of the screen. These can be hard to navigate, so if you
select the bottom one ('All Settings'} it will being up another menu on
the RHS that's easier to navigate. Select 'Sounds' and you'll see a full
choice of the outputs are available. Select the one of choice, and press
the 'Settings' button to close the menu. Enjoy!


Ok Spike. LG are not hugely attuned to European thought processing but I
guess their target market is i-phone adepts used to thumb juggling.

I need to buy a set of bluetooth earphones before taking this any
further.
