I have hearing aids and use a loop system to send the sound directly from the TV to the hearing aids. The "box" is analog only. My old TV had analog outputs and the sound through the loop was in full sync with the TV sound output - I could use both...

Hello Art, I use Gefen with my wireless headphones and sometimes I have to put in TV volume for others and I hear a slight echo which is not bad. I think the lag depends on both the adapter and the wireless transmitting device. I would ask the manufacturer of the wireless transmitting device to suggest the best adapter for their product. That is how I got Gefen for my Sennheiser wireless headphones.

The box is designed to strip off the audio from an HDMI signal being passed through it so that the audio can be routed to an amplifier for listening. As such there are two outputs A) TOSLINK (optical) and B)Line level (RCA connectors). Line level will probably be too low to drive your headphones (and there will be loss due to impedance mismatch) so that you will doubtless need a phones amplifier.

I'm not aware of any solutions apart from utilizing the headphone out on your audio receiver. With a TV this nice you've got a sound system, right? ;-)

My audio out port on the TV was already in used. There was an extra audio out port on my Comcast cable DVR box. The device transmitter hooks directly into the cable box without cutting off the sound from the surround sound system. Only drawback is you cannot use the device with your DVD player or with Netflix since they are outside the cable system.Since the user's hearing aids are not Bluetooth, we use high quality ear buds (Bose) instead of the induction loop. Device works as good as advertised.

I don't see y not. I used the box for 6 outputs and one input. it all worked backward very well. all of mine was audio. out was in and in was out.

the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver. The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide shows that. The optical cables are really cheap anyhow on Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem.

You can do a couple things. Buy an adapter for RCA like you said, or try to go right into your receiver. If you have a cable box, then you could pull the audio directly from there instead of through the tv. What i do is pull the audio through my home theatre system instead of through the tv.

Sound will go out to this TV Sound System when connected to a Sony TV with ARC if you selected on the TV to be on external speakers. However, you may choose the sound to be output on the TV speakers when you select TV speaker instead of external speaker. This may be applied if you have other devices like cable box to be connected on the HDMI IN on this sound system and you just wanted to have it on the TV speaker system. (Pass through) -Ely

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.

A.K. Oh sorry we hooked the speakers up thru our direct tv box so yes the tv speakers worked but they are not good speakers so we put the tv on mute and only listened to the sound bar as it has a much better sound. that is the reason we ordered the sound bar. we did try to hook up the sound bar on the back of the tv audio output but then nothing worked. the tv has a very poor speaker system tv is a Hisence and it does not have very good features either. would never recommend that tv. Also the sound bar would not work if we put it thru the tv audio out and used the tv with a antenna. hope this is helpful. A.K.

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.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

I've seen the other answers in the feedback but for the life o me I can't see how they would help. I use it for the tv, since I have become hard of hearing and wife says play the tv too loud I connect audio cables to the cable box and run them to Sony earphones and then using I splitter y adapter connect it to the amplifier and sound is unbelievable. Hope this helps

As I have mine setup (Digital Audio Out from TV to Converter to Integrated Amp), No.When I raise or lower the volume via my TV remote, the sound stays constant to my amp. (e.g., If I mute the TV, its speakers go silent but the source (Blue-ray player, etc.) plays directly through.This may be with the TV itself (Samsung 5350 Plasma) and, perhaps, not others but I have no way of knowing.I was surprised that the TV volume/mute control did not control the Digital Audio Out.Note that I am using an Integrated Amp that was born in 1978.Good luck.

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.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help. The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals.

There are basically two inputs on this. One is an optical and the other is rca. My tv has an optical out, so everything runs through my television then out to my sound bar. That way if you just want to use the sound from the tv you can.
