What kind of audio output is this?

[thestrangebrew1]

This is the only audio out for the TV I have. I bought this from my wife's cousin who repairs them but I don't have a manual. My son needs an audio cable for his headphones while playing his Xbox. Help would be appreciated.

Looks like toslink.

Yes. It's a digital optical (toslink) utput. There's are not really cheap ways to hook headphones up to it. You'll need an active converter, or a reciever between them.

You sure there is no headphone jack anywhere on the TV? What is the make/model?

I don't see any headphone jacks on it & like I said, its the only audio out. Not sure of the model but its a Panasonic 50" TV. How its set up is this:

The Xbox is hooked up to the TV via HDMI. My son has a headset that plugs into the Xbox via USB, but it also has RCA(?) cables (red & white I believe) also. We figured the RCA cables should plug into an audio output from the TV but there isn't any. The only audio is the toslink that's out. I thought maybe since the Xbox has it also if we plugged it in there from the TV then he'd get sound to the cans. I'll take a picture of the inputs and try to find the model no. in the morning.

There may be a mini audio jack on the front or side of the tv...

plus maybe a cheap amp

The model is TC50PX14. I may have to go through a suggested converter & toslink to get this working for him.

I think the easiest way to do this would be to get an audio dongle adapter for the 360. That gets you analog audio out on the back of the Xbox 360 next to the HDMI out.

Awesome thanks for this link. Looks like it'll work out and it's pretty cheap compared to a converter. I'll give this a shot first and see if it works.
