Hi there AVS Pros!
Total and complete AVS-brainless noob here, with a question you'll surely think proves what I just wrote!
I have an LG 60LB7100 TV I bought for Christmas. Other than it's internal speakers, the TV appears to have just one audio output, which is optical, which I have plugged into a sound bar, which works fine. The sound bar has a variety of input options, but no outputs.
I want to use wireless headphones so as not to disturb others. Like an idiot, I went ahead and bought a pair, thinking they'd work one way or another. They are the Sennheiser RS120 model which has an RCA input on the transmitter. Now that I have them, I see there's no place for me to plug them in.
What I would like to do is use a device that will allow me to plug the optical cable from the TV's audio output into it, and then get another optical out of that device as a sort of optical pass-through that will plug into the sound bar as it currently does, PLUS provide RCA jacks to also plug in the headphones.
I figure I can switch between sound bar and headphones by simply choosing which one is on and being used at any given time.
What device(s) am I looking for to achieve that split/switch/adaptation? Feel free to recommend certain brands or models that have better quality, features, etc.
By the way, this is a HUGE forum with LOTS of areas, so if I'm in the wrong place, please accept my apologies and feel free to move it or point me in the right direction! Thanks!
