Being hard of hearing and the blaring TV bothering my wife, I have been searching for a way to connect headphones to my Panasonic Viera TV with only optical audio output (with no success so far...see my other posts).
It is my intention to buy a cheap sound bar with optical autdio input and Blue Tooth technology and listen to the TV via Blue Tooth headphones. But, it has occurred to me that I do not know if the sound bar speakers can be turned off while leaving the headphones on...which would not solve my problem.
Therefore, I need to know, is there a control or some means of shutting the speakers in the soundbar off while still having sound to the headphones? Or, am I barking up another wrong tree.
