The only sound I get from the headset is white noise. I have an audio out port on the back of the TV. Do I need the converter?

I had to plug it directly into the cable box. Sorry to say I had problems with this device and ended up sending it back for a refund.

Are you using a PVR?If so you have to connect with the PVR or disconnect the PVR and connect directly to the TV.

If the audio output on the back of your tv are RCA connectors, you should connect your tv directly to the Serene transmitter RCA input with RCA cables. If the tv output is an optical output, you will need a converter

The Sentry sending unit is made with an RCA type plug to attach to the two plug audio out on older TV;s. The newer TV provide a 3.5 single audio out plug. If you have a newer TV you will need to purchase an RCA to 3.5 converter. Using a 3.5 connection, will probably only allow you to have sound through the earphones, i.e. no sound from the TV speakers. Good luck. My Sentry Headset operated with so much static that I finally throw them away.

you sure you don't have the cable in the audio pc/hmdi input (this connection is in "input 5" box, just above and to the right of the digital audio output; i believe this is the same connection type...) judging by the lack of picture instead of audio, that is my best guess anyway. someone correct me if i'm wrong (my tv is hanging and i cannot really see the connections), but i do not believe this device has a standard audio output (besides the headphone out)...

Mine works fine. I'd try to reset your computer and/or confirm that the audio out is automatically switching to the display port (when TV is turned on). Win 7 automatically does this (not sure about older OS systems). You may also want to look for an updated audio driver for your laptop.

It is more likely that your headset is defective. I would recommend returning it for a refund (and purchasing a replacement if you so desire)

Thanks for your question. your headset should connect to your TV, there is no outlet on the bar for them. This is a fantastic sounding bar.

While the audio out on your tv works fine, I've found that you get better sound if you plug it directly into the audio out jack on your desktop set. (assuming you have cable or satellite tv.)

You can hear game sound through this headset, but the sound depends on your tv volume I believe. Like if your tv is muted, there is no sound.

You need the RCA 3.5 mm audio cable (adapter). Attach it to the audio out position on the TV.

First of all, the following only describes what I did to make it work on my TV. It is NOT a direction, nor a recommendation. 1. Use a transformer (not included) of voltage needed (read user manual to find out power input needed, I think it is 12V) to supply power to transmitter (I just used black vinyl electrical tape to tape + to red and - to black). 2. Affix transmitter within line of sight at where headsets will be used. 3. Connect transmitter audio input to TV audio output. 4. Power on the transmitter and headsets. Voila!

Hello, if you are using windows vista or windows 7 change your sound output through control panel into hdmi the main reason why there's no sound is because your using your default sound output. (i always change the sound output before using the tv with my laptop)

Hmm, well the tv is only really a monitor and wouldn't have anything to do with sound in this case right? Wouldn't you need to get the dolby sound from the broadcast source like your cable or directv box? e.g. connect your audio optical cord to the cablebox directly & plug directly into your HT setup.

Hi Kim, make sure that the digital input is in the in, not out, of you digital box, what came with the headset. The other end should be connected to his game station. If it is an XBox, you would need to adaptor which plugs into the controller. Insert the DC power cable USB in the game station. On you game station, you would have to go to your "sound settings" and Audio Output Settings and select Optical Digital. Select Dolby Digital 5.1 Ch., Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44.1 kHz, and Linar PCM 2 Ch. 48 kHz. If you want sound to come from your tv and headset, go to audio muti-output and select on. I hope I got to help you today. Hi Kim, make sure that the digital input is in the in, not out, of you digital box, what came with the headset. The other end should be connected to his game station.

There is Audio out at the back of the TV Screen. Simply plug that to the input on the receiver.

Whad' ya say? Seriously, I don't think so. It's been a while since I sent it back (because it clicked a lot). If you have a relatively new TV (past 5-6 years), you may be able to plug in a headset, which should seem louder for you.

Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole. Ie look on the bottom of your tv for something that says "digital audio out" to connect the digital audio cord from the base to the tv. If you don't have that, look in same area for something that says "audio right" and "audio left" or it might say "audio R" and "audio L" then plug in your yellow and white cord to the connectors and other end of cord goes to your tv ears base. No wires are connected from the tv ears to the base as they are wireless. Hope this helps you out. Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole.

This TV does not have either an analog audio output or a headphone jack. One (or both) of those would be handy to have. The TV sound out is via TosLink, which is an optical digital signal. I used a TosLink optical cable and an optical/digital to analog sound converter and two RCA cables to connect to my amplifier. The total cost of those items was about $50. Not a big deal, but just an advance notice that you really do need the cables and D/A converter, because the sound from your existing home theater or stereo amplifier and speakers will be needed. If you have a more modern amplifier with optical digital input, only the TosLink cable will be necessary. This TV does not have either an analog audio output or a headphone jack.
