It wont hurt the set at all. Headphone jacks are attenuated to prevent ear damage. I use a computer sound system, plugged into the headphone jack of my daily watcher. It's an amplified system with a sub woofer and two smaller speakers for stereo separation. Sounds great and you dont have to worry about damaging the set, as you are slightly loading the output stage.
