Would you give me details on how to use the extension cord? What type is it and how to connect to TV & headphone?When I follow manual instruction, sounds come from both TV & headphones. Thanks

Depending upon the model TV that you have, look for Audio Out jacks on the back of the TV. They will look like 2X red and white RCA type jacks. Get a short ext. cord with RCA at one end and the micro-audio jack for the wireless and link them up. That way you'll have to manually mute the TV speakers when you listen to the phones or you can leave everything off (muted) or on...whatever...your choice.

This is going to sound weird. I had the same problem. I called Denon. They said vacuum the headphone jack. I did it, it worked. Weird, I know. The woman on the phone said dust shorts the headphone jack and causes the speakers to shut off.

If your tv has an audio plug just like that of a cell phone or mp3 player. Just look on the back of your tv.It looks like the hole you put your headphone plug in. Hope this helps

Hi J&J;, Sony MDR10R Headphones is using 3.5mm jack. Check with the console manufacturer if it supports any 3.5mm jack connection.-Vincent

You usually plug in headphones to the TV you have your PS3 connected to. So it depends if you have a place to plug in headphones on your TV/Monitor.

The only way to use these headphones is through the bluetooth or the provided cable. But you can get a Bluetooth transmitter and hook it through your tv or stereo to work with the headphones. I did this and watch movies while I work. I have been very happy with this solution. Highly recommended.

You have to manually turn them off - there is a little switch on the side of the headphones. That switch doesn't make any noise other than a very very quite click, softer than turning off a tv.If you are worried about noise coming thru the headphones - turn them off before turning off the tv.

I had not used that option but have now tested. Headphones work fine and the output to the RCA jacks is not interrupted when the 3.5 mm jack is in use. Something to keep in mind -- there is no volume control on the decoder. The SPDIF output from the TV is probably not controlled either. Unless your headphone has an integrated volume control the result may be uncomfortable. I checked off air vs. DVD on my TV. Off air came out with a moderate volume on my headphones where as DVD was pretty loud during some passages. Depending on your personal preferences it is possible that some audio could actually be too low in volume. I had not used that option but have now tested.

BTW--If you already have your TV on & then turn on your Headphones & don't want to turn your TV off/on again, you can simply go into your TV controls, deactivate your Bluetoothe & then re-activate it & it will instantly connect! Mahalo's & Aloha

We have a PS4 hooked up to our TV, onkyo receiver, and surround sound system and these work well to watch blu-ray movies on our ps4, but the moment we plug the wireless headphone jack into the front of the Onkyo receiver, it cuts the sound running to everything else. I do not know if that is a setting in the receiver that can be changed, as we bought these to watch TV and play games while our newborn was sleeping, and having the sound cut off is what we wanted. Don't do what I did and buy this supplemental/extra headset first; it does not come with the wireless transmitter and cords, so it is worthless unless you have another one at home already.

Does your TV have a headphone jack? They are great headphones with a really long cable so I would imagine they work well but don't have any personal experience in that setting.

There is a separate transponder device which remains wired to the TV using an 1/8" cable (connected to "audio out" at the TV). Also gets plugged into a standard outlet for power. The headphones connect wirelessly to the transponder.

Yes, you can listen to the tv at the same time you husband has his headphones on. This is wonderful as the tv does not need to be full BLAST. Again, yes. Ours stays plugged in as the headset itself is wireless. Not need to unplug. We are just not able to "hear" DVDs blue ray or Netflix on our tv

Usually, plugging something into the headphone jack turns off the speakers. Would make much sense otherwise, right? Test it on your TV with any mini-jack headphones/earbuds.

I would say it depends on where you connect this device to the tv. If you connect it using the standard headphone jack on tv, it'll mute the tv speakers as most devices do, no matter what (unless your tv had some very special feature to enable speakers and headphones simultaneously -- quite unlikely). You can use this device and still hear through tv speakers if your tv has "audio out" RCA connectors and you use the suggested "Y" RCA cable to connect the wireless headphones. So, if your tv does not have these connectors and/or you don't have the cable adapter, your only choice would be to connect to the standard headphone jack muting the speakers.

This has nothing to do with the headphone, but rather the TV. In my case, my TV has a LINE OUT that I use to connect to the headphone, so the TV volume control, speaker, and mute functions all work as normal. But if you plug the headphone base into the "headphone" jack of the TV, the TV's speaker is almost always muted.Bottom line--check it with any pair of wired headphones/earphones you may have laying around....

Hi Margie, On my TV, Model VO320E, there is no provision for headphones. There are two RCA jacks for audio out that can be used with a converter cable, but sound to the TV speakers is not muted unless you go into audio setup with the remote to turn off the speakers. This will work with a headset, I've done it. The level of sound coming out is still adjusted with the volume control on the remote. An Amplified headset would work best in this situation.
