Beoplay V1 doesn't have a dedicated headphone output, but I bought an link that allows me to use headphones instead of built-in TV speakers. The cable is plugged into the Powerlink PL1 socket on the back of the TV.

This seems to work fine, but since I need to use very high volume settings (between 70-90 on the scale of 0-90 used in V1) I am wondering if my settings in the V1 are correct.

First I added the headphones like this. In the Speaker type menu I see a choice of numerous B&O speakers + Other + Line, but no dedicated 'Headphones' choice.

main menu -> SETUP -> SOUND -> SPEAKER CONNECTIONS -> PL1 LEFT -> Speaker Type: OTHER

main menu -> SETUP -> SOUND -> SPEAKER CONNECTIONS -> PL1 RIGHT -> Speaker Type: OTHER

Next I created a new Speaker Group:

main menu -> SETUP -> SOUND -> SPEAKER GROUPS -> i created a new group that I named 'headphones'

main menu -> SETUP -> SOUND -> SPEAKER GROUPS -> 'headphones' -> SPEAKER ROLES -> here I changed internal BEOPLAY speakers to OFF (separately for L and R) and then changed the 'OTHER' (listed twice, for L and R) to LEFT FRONT and RIGHT FRONT.

The soundsheavenly website for the above adapter cable quotes: "For best results, we recommend setting the Powerlink output to "Stereo Downmix" in the speaker options to give you the best sound for your headphones, plus normal volume control from the B&O remote control."

I cannot find any "Stereo Downmix" menu choice in V1 controls. Is assigning speaker role of "LEFT FRONT" and "RIGHT FRONT" equivalent to this "Stereo Downmix"?

If anyone else who connected headphones to V1 can share their experience with setup settings, I would be eternally grateful.
