genie CS1-100 to rca headphones connection

I see a red connector on the back of the genie, I have tried to plug the red wire from my wireless headphones base with no success. There is a USB port, should I try a RCA to USB connector? or should I try a bluetooth device in the usb port?

Nope, the USB port can only power small devices or charge them.

There is no Genie CS1 but there are mini clients that are C31, C41,C51,C61. most have an A/V port that a composite 10 pin din cable plugs into to get the red/white stereo and yellow video RCA

DTV may send you one or you can buy one online composite 10 pin din cable.

Hello u/PapaZNC159. We are glad that your concern was properly addressed. That’s right, the USB port can only power small devices. Remember, we are a massage away whenever you need us. Alvaro, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Not likely. You can order them from Solid Signal.
