Adding Headphone socket to TV
Background:
I have a portable TV which I want to add a headphone socket to. Plan: Open TV. Find wires (probably just 2, I doubt it a 14", £80 TV has stereo) Add chassis mounted switch to the live (?) wire. Add chassis mounted headphone socket to the casing Wire the socket to the other 'side' of the switch This will (I hope) leave me with a TV which I can switch between headphone and speaker modes. thoughts anyone?

Be VERY careful! Lethal voltages can be present inside a TV hours after it is turned off. Not a job for the novice. |

This will (I hope) leave me with a TV which I can switch between
headphone and speaker modes. The headphone socket will incorporate a switch. There are 4 terminals on it. You break the speaker cable at a convenient point and reconnect them, passing through the appropriate terminals (you may need to install additional cable if there is insufficient slack to position the socket where you want it. The terminals are -ve and +ve feed from the amplifier, and the switched -ve and +ve outputs to the speaker. The internal switch disconnects the speaker automatically when a plug is inserted.

M. Hi Michael, Buy one of these : http://tinyurl.com/mcgf then drill a hole through the plastic casing to suit the size of socket, in an area that will not interfere with any of the innards. Find the speaker wires and trim them down or add to them until you have enough wire to reach the new socket. The black wire will be connected to the outer part of the socket (the socket casing) and the red wire will be connected through the two lugs on the end of the socket. When you insert the 3.5 mm Jack Plug, the action of pushing the plug in will separate the connection of the red wire from the main circuit board and the existing speaker and will make the connection to the headphone jack plug only. This is really a simple enough job but as others have said in their replies " PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THE HIGH VOLTAGES INSIDE THE TV " and be careful not to touch any of the capacitors on the PCB or you'll get a shock that will badly burn on both the entry and exit points of your body. Good luck with it. |

Is this just for your personal tv? If so you are probably ok with the advice from the other posts. But I do remember the technician at my university language lab telling me that when he did the tv's there, he had to install isolating transformers between the headphone socket and the speaker wires (I guess due to the possibility of live chassis). |

Beware of TVs with live chassis. This means that your headphone cable could have 240V on it. (Found this out the painful way once) How long ago though? TVs have moved on a bit in the last 50 years. It's very unlikely that a 14" portable would have a live chassis nowadays You can check for this by measuring the voltage on each loudspeaker terminal to mains earth, should be a low voltage if any. Otherwise your plan should work. -- geoff |

Modern TVs tend to have a switched mode power supply which isolates the chassis from the mains. If it doesn't then headphone socket is a no-no. Millions of sets in use today dont have that, and do run with live chassis. It is not an outdated practice at all. To connect a headphone to a chassis thats either live, or not live but not particularly well insulated from live, is a /really/ stupid idea. Regards, NT |

If you're OK with a separate switch you could use a stepdown transformer after the internal speaker and do away with the resistors. Roger. |

Hi
several people write: Modern TVs tend to have a switched mode power supply which isolates the chassis from the mains. If it doesn't then headphone socket is a no-no. Millions of sets in use today dont have that, and do run with live chassis. It is not an outdated practice at all. I just gave away a 10 year old JVC and that had an isolated chassis as does my new Sony and the two 5 year old small bedroom sets. BTW they all had/have headphone sockets too. right. and millions dont. How could they run modern electronics without a transformer of some kind? TVs have been running transformerless for decades. There is more than one approach to it. If there were no external connections, you could use a form of auto transformer which is marginally cheaper? you dont need any transformer. There are stacks of silicon based TVs around running mostly on HT. I have 1 right here. The few bits that can only be LT dont eat much power, and either HT circuits produce low voltage at various points to run them, or a low voltage loptf wind is used to supply them. Another option is to use a self oscillating lop stage running on HT. That starts up with no LT and the lop produces the LT needed for the rest of the set. The LT circuits then pull the lop into sync. Flywheel sync has been standard for a long old time. There are many approaches. Millions of sets in use today dont have that, and do run with live chassis. It is not an outdated practice at all. I just gave away a 10 year old JVC and that had an isolated chassis as does my new Sony and the two 5 year old small bedroom sets. I'd agree that all the quality makes I've played with have been fully isolated. does that mean all TVs are isolated? Maybe you're overlooking the consequences of 240v to the head. BTW they all had/have headphone sockets too. Most quality makes do - and also AV connections, so they'd have to have an isolated chassis in practice. those kind normally are, tho again exceptions exist. If 'most' is good enough for you to apply 240v to the head in 5% of cases, I guess that's your funeral. I'd say the ideal cheap transformer would be a telephone line isolating type if quality isn't that important. A good quality audio isolating transformer won't be cheap. I'd say the level of advice in this thread is just plain dangerous. To connect a headphone to a chassis thats either live, or not live but not particularly well insulated from live, is a /really/ stupid idea. Regards, NT |

A hybrid transformer is used to convert a two wire into a four wire circuit. It's a totally different device. Its a transformer wound specifically for use as a hybrid. I excpect we can agree there really. The *prime* reason that BT insist (or used to) on a transformer between external equipment and their line is to prevent mains getting onto it. Yup. There's a difference in consequences between mains on a phoneline and mains thru your head. Consequently there is a difference in what level of rish is acceptable, i.e. to what voltage the insulation should be rated, and what other precautions should be taken. I also dont believe you can count on such devices to have sufficient tested breakdown voltage for this app. I haven't changed my mind any so far. Well, if you can't trust a device made specifically for this purpose, wrong purpose. then I'd suggest you only ever use a battery operated self contained headphone system - because there's just as much chance - or more - of the mains transformer inside an isolated chassis set breaking down and putting mains where it shouldn't. A fair point to consider, but I'm going to disagree. Mains stereos are either Class I, in which case the headphone socket is safety earthed, or theyre class II, in which case a) the insulation is very highly rated, and b) potentially dangerous wires are tied so that if one comes loose it still cant touch anything and electrocute. With a live chassis TV and a phone transformer, a) you dont have good enough insulation rating between mains and head b) you dont have any of those backups inherent in class I or class II either. c) with a percentage of home installs you'll also have inadequate precaution against EHT arcing to the socket.

Thanks to all for the posts, and I survive to plot another day, Wimp! :-) Plenty of loudspeaker isolating transformers rated 1-2Kv between windings.

In my early twenties (long, long ago, while I still knew everything) I added a headphone jack to a mains/battery radio, and used it for some time. Then my father had a heart attack, and I gave him the radio so that he could listen in hospital. He had a second heart attack while listening to a rugby game, and died. No suggestion that the radio had anything to do with it, but after some time (and maybe suffering from what they now call 'survivor guilt') I belatedly checked the insulation between the metal headband and the headphone plug. It was quite low; long ago now, but I think around 40K. I've never really been sure........ It's not something anyone would want to wonder about. -- Roy Millar, Use m o u l i n e t @ |
