Does the R-Pod's TV/Entertainment center come with a earphone jack?  My wife will often go to bed early and I'll watch TV or a movie for a while.  Given the small space, it would be nice to be able to use earphones and not disturb someone's sleep.

There is not a earphone jack on the tv.  There is an analog connection that could be hooked to a stereo receiver or amp.   This information is based on the Audiovox VE927 TV unit.

My little TV has inputs but no outputs.
 
It's possible to add a jack just ahead of the speakers that would disconnect the speakers when your earbuds are plugged in. Gotta crack open the case, obviously.
 
I'd do it. But that's me.

I'm pretty sure there are output jacks (but none for an earphone) on mine...here is a unit description from Amazon:

Product Description

Audiovox Electronics VE927 9-inch LCD drop-down TV with built-in slot load DVD player is the perfect addition to your kitchen, garage, boat, RV enabling you to follow along with your favorite TV chefs, shows etc. It also includes a built-in AM/FM radio tuner, allowing you to keep things hot with your favorite tunes and radio programs. It mounts under a cabinet to keep counter space clear, and the swivel screen makes it simple to get a great view from anywhere in the room. It has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, built-in ATSC digital TV tuner, front panel operation, built-in speakers, A/V output and a wireless remote control. Audiovox became a pioneer in the wireless industry, selling its first vehicle-installed wireless telephones in 1984 as a natural expansion of its automotive aftermarket business. Its extensive distribution network and its long-standing industry relationships have allowed Audiovox to benefit from growing market opportunities in the wireless industry and to exploit niches in the consumer electronics business.

Thanks folks... Sounds like the TV doesn't have a jack and would need to be rewired or convert the audio visual jacks... Too bad, it wouldn't have cost much to include a jack.
 
My wife and I are still in shopping mode.  So far, we like the R-Pod 171 the best, but wish we could find it all at 1500-7700 lbs.  I know, dream on....Ermm

The AudioVox VE926 unit (here is the Owner's Manual) has RCA-out audio jacks and a composite video-out jack on the back.

A pair of wireless headphones (like these ones available at WalMart) that can be hooked-up to most home televisions would do the job.

Or, you could use a regular pair of corded headphones that have a volume control (like these ones available at WalMart) along with an RCA-to-stereo plug adapter (like this one available at WalMart - although its hideously expensive; you should be able to find one for $5 elsewhere).  You need headphones with a volume control as the television's volume won't (or isn't supposed to by the spec) change the RCA-out plugs volume.

We've used the RCA plugs with a mini-plug adapter and a Y-adapter to attach two pair of headphones to our dvd player/tv while our toddler is sleeping.  Couple problems with it.  No volume control from the set, so it'd be better to have it hooked up to a pair of powered headphones or speakers.  Secondly, audio does not come out when on the TV mode.  It works for DVD or Radio, but not TV.  Not sure why, exactly.
