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.
There has to be a audio output socket on that TV somewhere. That's why we need the model number of the TV so we can help you further.

Quite right. They are input sockets. Here is the back of the TV (same model number apart from the 'B' at the end).

It has an HDMI socket that could be used to get audio out to an external amplifer with a headphone socket. It also has a SCART connector. I have made and/or bought leads that that takes the audio out pins on the SCART plug and converts them to phono leads that can be plugged into an audio amplifier.
Both ways need some sort of audio amplifier though.

I am therefore sorry to say that based on what is in the instruction/user manual, there is no way for you to be able to connect as pair of headphones to your TV.

Re: No headphone socket on TV
There are usually audio out pins on a SCART socket. Then the audio amp is used for controlling the sound independent of the TV. The volume of the TV can be turned right down and the signal level coming out of the SCART pins remains present and constant. Some TVs allow the internal speaker to be turned off if an external amplifier is being used. There would need to be a headphone socket present on the amplifier as well for this case.I have done this with a few TVs and it has worked. Here is a SCART lead designed to get audio out (but not amplified audio).
