“Please clarify audio outputs Need headphones for elderly parent at constant volume while others watch tv and listen at varying volumes? Is audio output analog or digital? What kind of jacks? Is the volume constant? Is the impedance such that headphones can be driven directly or do I need to add an amplifier? Thank you. If not this model is there another that meet my needs?”

The TV won't drive headphones on it's own, unless they are wireless headphones. It has a "fixed-level" analog audio output, and a digital optical output. With the analog output, you can add a small headphone amplifier, such as the Behringer HA-400 for around $50.00, and it will drive up to 4 headphones simultaneously. The volume of the headphones won't vary with the volume control of the TV, so.if want to use a pair of WIRED headphones, get a pair with an in-line volume control, such as the "V7 HA-510", which sells for around $10.00 from various websites.. The in-line control will make it very easy for an older person to adjust the volume-- It's a simple thumb-wheel.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.TV offers both analog (3.5 mm) and digital (Optical), as well as an HDMI output that must work with a particular Samsung sound bar. All outputs I tested were fixed, and had to be adjusted but the attached speaker. Contacting Samsung verified - outputs are fixed. Should work OK with headphones that include volume control.
