No headphone socket on TV

Can anyone help please?
I have a small Logik TV with DVD player. There is no headphone socket. It has 3 sockets on the back , a yellow one labelled video, a white one labelled L, and a red one labelled R.
I have been looking on Amazon, and found a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable adaptor stereo headphone female jack to 2 male audio lead. If I plug this into the TV and then plug my headphones into it, can I listen to my DVDs through my headphones? Or is this adaptor for putting sound INTO the TV, rather than getting sound out of it, if you see what I mean.
Customer reviews are confusing. I am not very technically minded!
Thanks.

Re: No headphone socket on TV

Or you could purchase one of these. One end (L & R) plugs into the back of your tv and the other you plug your headphone into. It comes in 3 different lengths

Dodge thank you so much for your reply. I will order one.
It will enable my husband to watch his football on Sky, while I watch my DVDs on the small TV on the coffee table. Everybody happy!

Re: No headphone socket on TV

Those sockets on the TV are sound out, designed to go into an external sound system. The sound signal level is low and not controlled by the volume up/down on the remote control.

I think what you might have to do is plug in a soundbar or other audio amplifier that does have an earphone socket.

Well, firstly it needs to be established if that connection on the back of your TV is an input or output.

In Annie's case it would have to be a headphone amplifier.

Re: No headphone socket on TV

Annie, to make sure none of us give you the wrong information, do you know the model number of the Logik TV? There will be a label on the back of the TV or on the base of the TV that will say what the model number of the TV is. Once we know that, we can do checks on the web and find out exactly the right stuff you need.
