Volume Control Problem With External Speakers (40pfl5007h)

[macgyver]

Hi…

I have a Philips 40pfl5007h-k12 led tv. I think the default speakers of this tv are very worse. They making high pitched sound. For this reason I want to use external speakers. I tryied to use optical out and headphone out in left side on tv for connect external speakers. So when I connect speakers, I can’t control easily the volume with tv’s remote control. I have to enter a few menu for access headphones volume control screen. (menu/setup/tv settings/sound/headphones volume) It isn't useful and user friendly. It must be easier. I cant do it every time when I want to control the volume of tv.

And there is a another problem. This tv dont support turkish letters when showing subtitles. It’s show different letters. That's why turkish users can’t use this tv for divx playing. We need a firmware update.

Thank you for your support.

Yes i have the same problem with my 32PFL4007. The headphone separate level is a good thing, but the headphone level should be modified by general level and mute also by it.

I have the same problem with my 32PFL3517H.
Image is great but sound is awful, so i need to connect external speakers and control volume with my remote (i was able to do that with my previous tv set).
After failing with headphones connection I tried using SCART to L/R but then there's no way to control sound output level. using separate volume for headphones is really annoying.
Any ideas?

has anybody used hdmi to rca to get the signal out of the tv?
