Can one use the earphones on the remote while keeping the TV volume on? I want to get this for someone who's hard of hearing.

But, it can be done by spitting the audio output from the roku controller, routing one to the aux in jack in your TV or Tuner the other to the headphones. Splitters and cables are available at say radio shack or amazon.

when you plug your earphones into the controller it disables the audio to the TV, indicating audio access and control.

Most if not all TVs made in the last decade or so do not have headphone outputs (like on a stereo reciever which will mute the speakers). Instead they have line outputs which you would use with this unit and are independant of the speakers. You can still mute the speakers while listening to the headphones but it's not automatic: you just need to hit the mute button on your TV remote.

No, remote can control the speakers on TV itself. My wireless headphones' volumes stay unchanged. I can set it to a different volumes.

If you mean as opposed to using a remote, then yes you have to turn them on manually. Since I keep the headphones on the cradle and have to pick up the headphones to put them on my head, I don't find this annoying. Maybe I don't understand your question? i suppose you could never turn them off, but that seems wasteful.

Yes! The person wearing the headset has the ability to turn the volume as loud as they need it in order for them to hear the sound of the TV. Anyone else sitting in the room is able to listen to the TV at whatever volume it is, which would more than likely be lower than the person with the headset. I do believe this saved our marriage...:). It has been a blessing for my husband who has hearing difficulties and the TV does not have to be blasting me out of the room. Strongly recommend to everyone with a hearing disabled family member!

You can use ear buds. It comes with a remote but you can do it from the TV. For a manual on it go here. It's in PDF formant. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct;=j&q;=&e;src=s&source;=web&cd;=1&ved;=0CCwQFjAA&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fstore.vizio.com%2Fdocuments%2Fdownloads%2Fhdtv%2FVMB070%2F725VMB070_UG.pdf&ei;=hUcpUoTXN-fT2QWNioGQAw&usg;=AFQjCNEAmy39I4rgd-r0N_bK_kUWps88ZA&sig2;=wCub_kedLxa2TaOP9-6LUQ&bvm;=bv.51773540,d.b2I

I have these. I can move a little but if I turn away from the TV I lose the sound. As long as you mostly face the TV you can still hear.

I bought the speakers for my mother-in-law (who's losing her hearing). I believe she uses the remote that comes with soundbar to control the volume. However, this is an analog device that plugs into the audio-output jack on the back of the TV, which you might use to listen with headphones. Therefore, the audio output from the jack should be controllable with the TV remote. How else would you control the headphone volume? Hope this helps.

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.

The answer to both of these questions is yes. You definitely can continue to listen to the TV while someone has the headphones on. The headset controls its own volume. Because the headset controls its own volume, not the TV's, when you are finished using the headphones, you just put them on the base and you do not have to unplug anthing.

yes, actually I prefer my TV volume will be off otherwise create double sounds, and yes the headphones produce great sounds.I'm satisfied with my purchased! I hope this answer will help!

yes but you can only adjust the volume with the remote provided with the speaker not the TV remote

Yes, no problem. You can also put the TV on mute and the sound will only come from the speakers

Yes, all others can hear the TV at regular volume. Headset works by line of sight so anything between headphones and transmitter base will block sound to headphones. Headphones have their own volume. They are fantastic.

Yes, even when ur using the headphones u can still control the tv volume. This headphone allows you to have idependent volumes controls.

YES, no problem. I like this TV, except I have to crank the volume to 100% most of the time as I am a bit hard of hearing. I guess TV Ears will be next.Bill

You will be able to hear your TV over regular sound system...You will be able to turn down the volume when you are using theearphone system, and balance how much volume you want over the regular system and adjust your earphones as desired...
