HELP! Having trouble getting this unit to work. I plugged it into the audio inputs on back of t.v. (red into red, black into white) and plugged into well. I can hear the t.v. in the headphones, but also hear it on the t.v. When I mute the t.v., the headphones mute as well. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! HELP! Having trouble getting this unit to work.

I don't have this unit, but usually headphones have to be plugged into a headphone jack on the TV in order to mute the speakers.

Thanks...I was afraid of that. My t.v. doesn't have a headphone jack that I know of. I'm going to give it another look. If it doesn't, I'm hoping I can find some kind of adapter to make it work??? The directions that came with this unit are horrible. Thanks again!

I like these headphones a lot except at certain periods for days at a time they will go off every 3 minutes. I have to turn my TV off and back on generally 2-3 times and then they will come back on. I have tired everything I know. Unplugg them for several minutes. Then some of the time they work fine and I have no problem. I have ask the store I purchased them form and many other people and no one can tell me what might be causing the problem. My husband and I both have our own TV on either side of our bed. He wears headphones and I wear these. There seems to be no corelation between him having his on or off. Can anyone help me.

I haven't really tried to get that to work. I was so focused on on/off, volume/mute that I didn't even thing that far ahead. If I figure it out I will let you know. I had the complete HD and movie package but scaled back last year.

cool thanks a bunch! Haven't ordered one yet, been reading the reviews first. I just got an I-touch and wanted something to listen to it on other than the earplugs. Has anyone tried the video output to the t.v yet?

The wireless headphones come with a transmitter with two cables attached . You simply plug these cables in to the back of the TV--One is usually white and the other is red. The transmitter is then capable of sending the sound to the headphones. You can then MUTE the sound on the TV and you hear the sound loud and clear and no one else can hear anything . It would be as if the TV was NOT on. My house is wired forwireless and some TV are not adaptable so check for this before committing.

Check you T.V Settings make sure you have them set up to the sony. Sounds like you don't have them connected correctly.

Some headphones have a volume adjustment on them otherwise if you have the device connected properly you should be able to turn the volume up on the tv you are connected to. You also might have to turn off the internal tv speaker setting on your tv when using this with newer tvs

Make sure you have the speaker output that the transmitter is connected to turned on and the transmitter plugged in. Then plug in the speakers to the outlet for power and use the remote to turn on the speakers. One thing I have noticed is that the volume needs to turned up on the unit you are wanting to listen to so you can have more control over the volume at the speakers. I'm not talking blasting loud but up about half way. It uses the input volume from the stereo and then you control the output to the speakers with the remote. I hope this helps. We love ours and they work as advertised! Good luck. Make sure you have the speaker output that the transmitter is connected to turned on and the transmitter plugged in.

Just read this on another post. Haven't tried it yet: "...we had the same problem. We finally resolved it by connecting the Roku to the TV via HDMI cables, and then using the A/V cable that came with your Roku, connect that from the Roku to your headphones using two of the connectors but not the yellow one. You'll need to get two female RC connectors so the two ends of the A/V cable and the headphones receiver connectors will connect."

If you have your TV connected to a surround sound system, you could connect the headphones to an audio output on the surround sound receiver. Either that, or you might try looking for an audio adapter that goes from digital to RCA plugs. Sorry to say, it doesn't sound like you have too many options. These headphones really do sound, and work great, if you can get them connected. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Well if I remember correctly you must turn the TV off, then press the on and the mute button together until the tv turns back on, then the channels/volume should work. I sent mine back this week due to it not responding to resetting after several attempts (WITH the instructions that were located on the back of the package)

I plugged it into my tv output and receive the signal to my by head set just fine your just using a different media should be just fine. The only problem I have had in the past with other by in the same room. I have had to isolate the units to pair them.

..yes, very frustrating. I'm having the same problem and unfortunately we may have to hook up a separate feed from the laptop headphone jack to the audio system. I had understood that you could get sound through the HDMI so this is a pain in the butt.

I'm going to ask... But did you use audio out of the head unit and run to audio in on the headrest... My ir headphones work fine ....any it headphones work also...

What issues are you having? Does the unit power up? It can be tricky to find the right station to tune to. I had to switch from the default before I could hear my player.
2011773
tell me what outputs your laptop has. if nothing else...your LT probably has hdmi out...run that to your tv direct and use the headphone out and an adaptor cable to run that to the hk

I plugged mine into both the headphone jack and the red and white audio outlets on the TV. Both gave me a delay in my hearing aids. If I listen to TV by myself, its OK, but while watching with the rest of the family listening with the normal TV speakers, this just doesn't work.

I used the red and white connectors and plugged them into the TV red and white "Audio Out" receptors. Make sure the front of the transponder faces front. Turn on the transponder and make sure the red lights face front towards the earphones. The headphones need to charge for at least 1 day before use.
