I have a Samsung TV, though a different model. I plugged the RS140 into the 3.5mm audio output jack, and it works perfectly. I use some Bose PC speakers for TV sound, and these, too, are plugged into the 3.5mm audio output jack using splitters. I can mute the sound or not, and the sound coming through the RS140 is independent of that.I just tried it with the native TV speaker, and it works the same way. It doesn't matter to the RS140 whether the TV volume is turned up or muted. The RS140 operates independently of that.

Not familiar with your TV, but on my Vizio, there is an RCA Audio Out. I use this for my headphones, works great. Cannot put TV on mute however, thus you also lose sound in headphones. To use headphones alone, just reduce volume on TV.Hope this might help.

I plug my rs140's into my surround sound theatre DVD/Amplifier and the TV has it's own amplifier and speakers. This allows my wife to adjust the TV speaker output to her liking while I listem through the headphones. My tv is a JVC 52" LCOS though.

I have connected mine to my laptops and then to the TV. I use the 3.5mm on the output end and it works great, however I have used it in two laptops, however the first time I use it the system has to load software for audio in order for it to work, so I could not say for certain, unless your system will recognize it. I hope that this helps

I'm coming in very late on this, but want to use a second headset with the Sony MDR-IF240RK Wireless Headphone System as well. I see that the transmission of sound can go to both, but that the charging base is only set to charge the original headset. Have you found this to be true? Also, does anyone know where I can buy a single headset. Thanks!

Yes. However, I have noticed a slight delay in the sound synchronization when the same thing is playing on both outputs. I have one output going from my computer to a TV over a 6 foot cable and the other output is going to a TV over a 25 foot cable.

Can you still hear the sound through the TV as well as the wireless speakers. I would like to hear the sound from both, and it is unclear whether using the speakers stops the sound coming out of the TV too? I see that when you use the headphone jack, the sound does stop coming out of the TV. But when you use the RCA plug, does that change anything and allow the sound to come from both?

The Set 830-S connects directly into the audio-out and therefore does not allow for ambient environmental sounds. The audio from the television is transmitted directly to your receiver/headset.

These earphones can be used both ways for both sound through TV and headphones or just headphones. It is all in the way you connect them. My dad was very hard of hearing and it had gotten to where we couldn't watch TV with him because the TV was so loud. These headphones were lifesavers.

TV plug into Audio but then you are the only one that hear it through the head phones and if you plug to the back of your receiver where you can hear and another person sitting there can hear on tv plug into audio using the red and black or red and yellow cords that came with the head phones. if your getting static you need to push the button on the headphones and it should give you a good signal. If you have another headphone system too close to your tv then both headphones will only work off the main tv. My daughter has two pairs so she can listen to tv in her room with out us having to hear hers but she gets our signal because the receivers are too close together. They are great headphones you just need to move the transmitter and use the tuner.

I just got the headphone/transmitter set, and an extra RS 170 headset. First I had to pair the extra set to the transmitter, and then the transmitter had to be set into multi-unit mode because it comes in single unit mode. This .pdf manual has all the information: http://en-us.sennheiser.com/downloads/618f0fab7767846059287a477fdb83cf.pdf After a bit of frustration, both headsets now work with the transmitter. I can turn either headset off/on and the pairing remains. I think the only thing that might change that would be if the transmitter was turned off/powered off, which I intend to avoid, or if there was some sort of interference. Anyway, the .pdf manual has all the info, see link above. I just got the headphone/transmitter set, and an extra RS 170 headset.

Regarding Sentry Wireless Headphones, I was never able to operate them successfully. Too much random static and random shifting from TV listening to a local FM station. After several weeks of experimentation and frustration, I gave up on them. I went back to Amazon and purchased a similar product called "myZones". The setup and operation were the same with the exception that these Wireless Headphones functioned properly, without static and without interference from local FM stations. Now for your question. The transmitter connects to my TV set through the RCA Audio Out connectors. In this situation, I am able to control both the TV volume and Headphone volume independently. However, I recently tried to set myZones up on my neighbors TV. Rather than RCA Audio Out connectors, they had a 3.5 jack labeled Head Phone. When I connected the transmitter using the appropriate adaptor, the normal TV sound shut off and I receive only sound transmitted wirelessly to the headphones. . Though I have not taken the time to research the situation, it appears the answer to your question may depend on the nature of the connector on your TV set. The Audio jack on the newer TV sets may anticipating the use of an external sound system to replace the TV's sound system. In this case a splitter may allow both the external sound system and the wireless headphones to be attached to the same jack.

yes you can use two headsets with one transmitter. I just now did it on my system and both headsets worked equally well.

No, each transmitter has 2 channels and they will duplicate on the second transmitter. You could use all four if you only use 2 at a time. In other words you could leave all four hooked up, but only use Channel A or B on either but not on both at the same time. All four headsets could be used at the same time, but only on Channel A or B. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. I purchased one set up then added a second headset. It works fine. I've noticed that the volume of one unit tracks the other as does power. It might just be how I set it up but I never cared enought to fix it. Changes to one head set affects the other. This has been a life saver for car trips with kids as well as watching tv when someone is sleeping

I use both the 120 and the 130 headsets. The 130 has more features and also has slightly more base. Since I have high frequency hearing loss, I prefer the 120. I am able to let my wife use the 130 while I use the 120. One of the charging /transmitters is not plugged into the audio jacks and is simply used for a charging base. We do not specifically charge either headset on one base or the other, but instead use which base happens to be closest or empty. I also know that transmitting works for either, but as stated before the 130 has more features. (which I don't use) These are the best headsets I have ever used. I have purchased three 120's and one 130 over time.

I found it easy to setup 2 earphones with the base unit. Simply associate each earphone set with the base unit as though it is the only set you will use. Now, turn everything off. Whenever you wish to use 2 headsets at the same time simply:1. turn on both of the headsets.2. turn on the base unit and wait until you can hear sound from one of the headsets. The other will not be working at this point.3. give the base unit on/off button a short push. after a few seconds the 2nd headset will start.

That should not be a problem. They are each on their own frequency. We don't generally do that but it shouldn't be a problem. We ordered an additional handheld mic but it's on the same frequency as one of the headset mics and you can't use them at the same time. Good luck, JK

I'm not at the equipment, but the prior answer is mainly correct. It seems that there is a light on the base unit that comes 'on' if it is turned on - - and there is audio coming from the TV (or other device).Referring to "another button" on the headset, you may have to push it more than once to find the correct audio. (I believe that when you turn the headset 'off' and then back 'on', the audio selection stays - - - but I'm not sure.)
