HI,

The simplest way is to buy a cable (one in two out), but it may deteriorated
the sound quality.

For myself, I connect it from the green port to my HiFi system so that I can
enjoy better and more powerful sound. I can use the headphone jack on the
HiFi system if I want to.

You can also consider to use the orange port to setup a six channels digital
speakers system and then use the green port for headphone.
