Using Headphones For private listening, connect headphones to the headphone jack on the rear panel using a 1/8 inch “mini” headphone jack. The speaker is automatically muted when you plug in your headphones. NOTE: The speaker will automatically unmute when headphones are disconnected. Because headphone volume may vary from speaker volume, be sure to lower the volume before connecting or disconnecting headphones. CAUTION: Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing damage.
