Hi Dave,

Jeremy Portzer beat me to it, he gives good advice.  Using the line 
level audio output is the best option (if available), and does not 
require opening up the box and potentially voiding the warranty.

A fancier option would be to search around on line for a headphone 
amplifier that you could plug into the line level outputs.  An example 
is here:
http://www.amazon.com/Ramsey-SHA1C-Stereo-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B0002NRL7U

Although that one is a kit, I've also seen pre-built ones.

Good luck with your project,

Scott C.
