Can I hook this to my laptop simply so that the kids can use infrared wireless headphones while watching a DVD in the car?

Not unless you're adept at writing some software to do so. This device is used mainly for infrared remote control devices.

Not a good choice for that purpose. Infrared requires line-of-sight, just like a typical remote control. If you already have wireless headphones, they should have come with a transmitter that plugs into the headphone jack. Unless they happen to be Bluetooth. In which case, you should be able to pair them with your laptop without any extra equipment.

Unfortunately I never heard of infrared wireless headphones until today. As such I am not a good choice. However, the owner hosts a website and active forum - you may be able to find your answer there and/or post a question to be answered. My initial take though is that this is rather bulky - sitting in front of a cable box is one thing but used in a car ... dunno. Sorry and good luck!

This device is used to emulate a remote control like a TV remote. I don't think you will be able to drive a continuous variable infrared signal required by infrared wireless headphones.

Yes you can. It has additional inputs (RCA Type) for a DVD/TV components. I use it on my Toshiba As a sound bar. The I-Pod Touch on top is also a nice touch.

If your laptop has an HDMI out port, then yes. You can connect this TV just like any HD component and both audio and video will work. This TV can also see a media server (Windows media player can do this) that is on the same network as the laptop if you are looking to stream movies or music. If not you will need to buy a VGA to HDMI adapter, preferably one that has audio jacks included that connect to your headphones port. That is a fairly cumbersome method but can be done.

On the back of the speaker there are two RCA ports. (Red and white) so yes you can connect to the laptop but the cable would have to be a RCA to a 3.5mm Headphone jack wire. What I did is a bought a bluetooth adapter that also had the two RCA ports and conected it to the speakers so I could connect my laptop, phone or any other bluetooth device.

Probably a stupid question, can this be used for audio signals? : ie. for wireless headphones?

Check to see if your TV has RCA audio inputs in the back (it probably does...they're the little round red and white ones with a hole in the middle). Next, I'm assuming your laptop has a headphone jack. If it does, then go to Radio Shack and ask for a "stereo mini to male RCA" cord. Plug the mini end into your headphone jack on your laptop and plug the RCA end into the back of your TV. This should work. If you have surround sound, then you could also plug the RCO end into your surround sound system.

I don't see why not. Most if not all car dvd players use IR to transmit sound. I have not heard of any using BT yet (which would be awsome!). This like many others on Amazon use a dual channel IR signal so that you can switch between 2 dvd units. If you have one, it will still work. Just find the channel (A/B) that the unit transmits on. On a side note, I found the overall quality of these units to be not so good. I had 2 units out of the 4 that had issues with sound only playing out of one ear. Just something to consider.

Yes. You can use it similar to a wireless projector. Once you connect it to your TV, everything you do on your computer/laptop will be shown on the TV

I don't see why you couldn't as long as you had RCA output from your laptop. I'm guessing here but logically it makes sense.

No, these have to have something send the sound to them wirelessly. They are mainly for use in cars and vans that have built in DVD players

I use them for my DVD player in my SUV. But if your computer function on infrared network yes it will work if not it wont

It won't plug directly into your laptop. You'll need a type of converter. To be honest I'm very disappointed with this wireless system...get something else.

No don't hook up directly. Laptop to mixer then direct box to instrument on separate channel.

Yes. If your laptop has a digital optical or digital coax connector you could connect via that. Or it also has 2 analog connectors one of which is L-R RCA and one thats a headphone style jack. On most laptops you'd just need a stereo double jack to connect the speakers to the headphone or lineout on the laptop.

I don't think this would be the best product for that purpose, I would imagine the best solution would be to simply run some video cable from the laptop to just another screen instead of another pc if at all possible. Best of luck on your search.

Sure-- I have a wire going from the left side of my laptop to the bottom intake on my flat screen tv. I watch videos from youtube and Netflix with great surround sound. You'll enjoy it. ++++ It is a WIDE plug with two screw in holders on the side of it. If you have any trouble getting that wire, Google "hooking up laptop to surround sound" and I'm sure that you'll find what you want with instructions, or go to your local Best Buy or Radio Shack. MERRY CHRISTMAS, Steve

No, but just use a USB adaptor? you can get some cheap laptop adapters, too.
