Can anyone tell me..

When using my Headphones with my LCD TV, I seem to be limited as to how high I can have the volume. When watching a DVD and using my Headphones, the volume is much too quiet, although it is a little louder when music is playing. Even when I turn the volume up to maximum on my TV, the volume level of the Headphones will not get any louder.
Can anyone tell me what this could be ?

Thanks

Maybe your LCD television has seperate buttons for adjusting headphone volume?

Cheers!

Nope. I have checked all the Menu's as well. Even with cheaper Headphones I have been able to turn the volume right up, it just got distorted. For some reason though, the volume doesn't get any higher with these Headphones.

Well, either the headphones need much more power than the cheaper ones you also tried with, or the headphones have a limiter. What headphones are they?

That one is with cable, so I suspect that your problem is that the TV does not have enough power to drive them. You may need a headphone amplifier.
