Since Mr. Samsung is on here a bit, I pose this question. Which 32 inch Samsung models have analog audio output jacks. the 4003 model doesn't

Lottalotion, Most of the television models will have either (or both) analog or a digital optical output. The 4003 model last year was a seasonal item, and was designed to meet a very low price point. If you have a question about specific models and features on those models, we'll be happy to answer those here - just ask, and we're happy to assist. --Mr. S

Thanks for the review Robert! Good tip about the 3 series of Samsung TV's against the older 2 versions. I was all set to buy an older model ending in 2, the 4272 to be exact, but now I think I'll wait.......

According to the specs on line http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN32EH5000FXZA-specs , the TV has both Audio Out Mini Jack and Digital Audio (Optical). Some Bose speakers connect via USB, also available

I can vouch that the built in speakers on Samsung's 550 series are pretty disappointing. They fire down and back instead of forward, giving a muffled sound. IMHO Samsung's picture quality is marginally better, and I'm unsure if Sony's L line has a problem with the white "sparkles" that the W and V lines have with programming shown through HDMI, but I know on the W and V series sets that the built in sound is much better. If prices are comparable I'd go with the Sony.

There are no output jacks on the back. Only the speaker jacks are on the back. There is a audio input on the front and a USB input as well. Not particularly happy about the fact there are no RCAs. Not the top of the line but good for a medium-sized room.

Thanks, Vee. My husband looked at the pdf manual yesterday afternoon and wrote this from work: "This is their page, and on the `support` tab you can see the entire manual in pdf form. I glanced at it, it does not have a headphone socket, but it has a digital audio output socket. You can get digital audio headphones for about $25-30.?"So I think we are getting somewhere now. We are going to look at the actual television at a local store, talk with the salespeople, then probably come back to purchase from Amazon, which has the lowest price.My husband is not an electronics expert, so going to see for ourselves will be the best confirmation, yet.

Any digital sound bar will work fine. Regarding brand, your choice. However, unless you are looking to have the surround sound experience, I found that you don't need a sound bar as the quality of Samsung's internal speakers equal those of 'cabinet' speakers. I've owned 4 Samsung TVs, currently 2, and have yet to be disappointed with their sound. Hope this helps.

Yeah that seems to be the deal with the new ultra thin 40" Samsung LEDs. My friend bought one from Best Buy and the sound was so tinny that a sound strip with woofer had to be used or the TV was like a radio compared to a Sony Bravia 40". The only problem with this is you need to turn up the volumn to a mid-high level to notice any difference in the sound. Don't need to have my TV that loud and the speakers in my Sony are just fine for my living room. Why spend extra for a speaker system when you can just buy a Sony and have quality sound from the internal speakers??

I dont think you can directly, at least I could not. Cant believe Samsung sells TVs with no audio output. I was able to connect my Sennheiser headphones up to the cable box audio output and accomplish the same thing.

Hi, just a heads up. The 32" does not have a headphone jack. That is a typo-I have 2 of these tv's. The 19 and 22 inch models do and it is located on the back above the video inputs. A good place to check manuals too is retrevo.comPeace and good luck in the tv buying process.

Most modern T.V.s have an audio out jacks or speaker out jacks on the rear panel. Mine are a 32" Emerson Lcd, and a 46" Samsung and they both have these jacks. The best part is you can turn down the T.V. sound down so it is at the proper level for everyone else (or turn in completely down) and it doesn't effect the input to the wireless Headphone. My wife loves it, we watch T.V in separate rooms most of the time and she doesn't hear my T.V. in the background.Hope this helps.'

No problem Pen Name. Yeah, through all that techno babble, it still isn't clear whether it has a headphone jack. How I knew it might have one is when I downloaded the pdf manual for this TV from the website. In the manual it shows the back connections.It says it has a "AUDIO IN (RGB/DVI)1/8" (0.32 cm) headphone jack for analog PCaudio input."I'm not sure if that's what you all are looking for.

I hadn't yet heard mine, and your question got me curious, so I got mine working (had to go into the monitor's menu and switch the sound input to HDMI first in case anyone else runs into this issue) . They are a nice addition for an office worker who just needs basic sound, but I wouldn't recommend playing music on these, as they don't have the bass, depth or richness of sound needed to enjoy music. I am still using my 10+ year old Altec Lansing computer speakers, and they still sound awesome. I see that you can buy a new set on Amazon with a sub-woofer for about $60 (Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker), and I would definitely recommend a pair like this to compliment this "gorgeous" monitor! I am still SO happy with this monitor, and I hope NEC continues to make it, as I will stick with them for life if so. The picture is awesome, and I LOVE the semi-gloss! Ok....I'll stop about the monitor now, hehe. :-D

This TV doesn't have any analog audio out. There is optical and hdmi audio out. I ended up buying a receiver to power my analog speakers. I presume you would need something similar or at least a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) if you wanted a standard headphone jack.

What are firmware updates? I too am interested in the 1600 to go with my Samsung tvs. I have a 46 and 52 inch 600 series. I also want to have everything I need to make me go Wow!

This model number (MX-F630B) DOES NOT have a headphone jack. There is a MIC jack, but it is not a dual jack. This is a pretty large disappointment for me as it seemed to be the answer for what is missing from a lot of these mini shelf systems. They seem to have AUX IN and no headphones, or Headphones and no AUX IN... most of the better brands in this price point seem to follow that trend, LG, Sony, etc. You can check the model number at Samsungs site too. There is no mention of Headphone capability.

Dany Kapp, There is a composite output (yellow AV) and a component (RGB) output as well as HDMI on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S
