How to use the sound of the SHARP LC-46LE820E television and a headset simultaneously?

Q: How to use the sound of the SHARP LC-46LE820E television and a headset simultaneously?

The SHARP LC-46LE820E has a 3.5 mm headphone jack that automatically disables the internal speakers when a headset is connected. Therefore, it is not possible to listen to the sound simultaneously on the internal speakers and the headset plugged into the television's headphone jack. However, you have two solutions to listen on multiple devices at the same time: First solution: use the Toslink optical output Connect an external audio system (amplifier, compatible soundbar) via the Toslink optical audio output port located at the back of the television Plug your headset into the 3.5 mm headphone jack of the television The sound will then be played simultaneously on the headset and on the external audio system connected via optical You can adjust the volumes independently on the television (for the headset) and on your external audio system Second solution: use an audio splitter or a jack adapter Get a passive 3.5 mm audio splitter or a Y adapter Connect the splitter to the headphone jack of the television Plug your headset on one side and an audio amplifier on the other This solution allows simultaneous listening on both devices, but note that the volume will be shared between the two outputs For Bluetooth devices, you may consider pairing your wireless headset directly to the television if it has this feature, while using the optical output for a wired external speaker. Check the Bluetooth pairing menu in the audio settings of the television.

The SHARP LC-46LE820E has a 3.5 mm headphone jack that automatically disables the internal speakers when a headset is connected. Therefore, it is not possible to listen to the sound simultaneously on the internal speakers and the headset plugged into the television's headphone jack. However, you have two solutions to listen on multiple devices at the same time:

First solution: use the Toslink optical output

Connect an external audio system (amplifier, compatible soundbar) via the Toslink optical audio output port located at the back of the television
Plug your headset into the 3.5 mm headphone jack of the television
The sound will then be played simultaneously on the headset and on the external audio system connected via optical
You can adjust the volumes independently on the television (for the headset) and on your external audio system

Second solution: use an audio splitter or a jack adapter

Get a passive 3.5 mm audio splitter or a Y adapter
Connect the splitter to the headphone jack of the television
Plug your headset on one side and an audio amplifier on the other
This solution allows simultaneous listening on both devices, but note that the volume will be shared between the two outputs

For Bluetooth devices, you may consider pairing your wireless headset directly to the television if it has this feature, while using the optical output for a wired external speaker. Check the Bluetooth pairing menu in the audio settings of the television.
