I just bought a westinghouse tv and it doesn't appear to have any audio out ports. I'd like to use headphones with this tv. Is there any way I can make this happen?
 
Solution
is this your tv?

Output SPDIF Digital Audio (Coaxial) 1
Output Audio Out 1

do you have either of these spdif output options? one looks like an orange rca port the other looks like a semi rectangular port with a dust flap.

if you do have those ports you could use that as an output and then use something like a spdif coax to rca adapter (which would have a DAC built in) then use a rca to headphone adapter (or some of those boxes have a headphone port right on them.. perhaps search for spdif coax or spdif optical to headphone dac)

if you dont have those ports then say so.
