Connect Headphones to a TV that does not have a 3.5 mm port
This converter box is all you need to connect your stereo headphones to a TV that does NOT come with a 3.5 mm port but instead features a DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port. It took me a while to become familiar with digital audio cabling...
It comes with a “Toslink” cable with protective plastic caps. After removing the caps, you plug one end into the port labeled “digital audio out” or “digital optical audio out” or “SPDIF” on your TV and plug the other end into the port labeled “SPDIF” on the Prozor box.
NOTE: The SPDIF ports are covered with a lid that moves out of the way when you insert the Toslink cable. You may have to find out the correct position by trial and error.
The converter box needs a 5 Volt power supply. It comes with a power cord that you can plug into a USB port on your TV or an unused charger with compatible voltage.
Depending on your situation, you MAY need a longer Toslink cable than the one that comes with the converter.
I needed this device for a TV that only had a digital audio out but ne 3.5 mm stereo port. On that TV (Samsung 32" H.D.), you still need to go through the menue and change the audio setting to "audio out" from "TV speaker"
Hope this helps.
