722k and headphones?

[ndcoop]

Is it possible to connect a set of headphones (wire) to the Dish 722k for direct sound? My TV has no component audio output and I wanted to try watching TV while listening on the headphones. Thanks in advance for input.

Amazon.com: "2 x RCA Male / 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable, 6 inch": Electronics

Can also be bought from RadioShack.

Though, you'll have to figure out a way to adjust the volume. My guess is the volume will be rather low.

Or your TV may have a headphone output?

Composite out has a 1 volt out that will give very low volume on earphones, it needs to be amplified before the earphones.

The 722k audio outputs are set at line level output voltage and without a volume control. The line level is set so it does not distroy the audio component internal amp. Headphone, and speaker, outputs are at speaker level voltage output. Speaker level voltage is much higher than line level. If you were to connect a speaker level output device(722k) to an amp(tv), the amp could be damaged if the output device voltage past a set voltage the amp(tv) could handle. In order for you to listen using headphone the 722k would have to have an internal amp that controls the volume of the headphones. If you connect headphones using a y adaptor, you will have low to no sound from the headphones.
