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.

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?

Depending on your system.... Follow the instructions of simply plugging in the power chord, place the headset in the holder. Turn on the bottom unit. Turn off the headset. For stereo. Output of cable box or tv should have a yellow white and red plugs. Use the wire provided, plug in the color plugs. Once recharged, it should work with tv volume off. Head set has its own volume control.

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

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

what you need to do is get a RCA to headphone jack if your TV have headphone jack. or a optical to audio converter if not the sound will not come out.

Plugging headphones into the headphone jack turns off the TV Speakers. Mute also mutes both speakers and phones. I use wireless phones, but plug them into my cable box instead of the phone jack. The only other audio out is optical digital which could go through an adapter for analog audio out.

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.

No. I use my A/V receiver headphone out put for that plus I have SONY wireless headphones which I attached to one of the two tape outputs on the A/V receiver and then mute the receiver for late night listening or viewing while others in the house are sleeping.

Typically no - most headset jacks are wired to turn the speakers off as soon as something is plugged in. This depends more on your TV than the headsets themselves

Plug wire to TV sound output may need rca adapter or other adapter. My xla headphones worked for a week then lost the right stereo channel . they are junk . I purchased wireless ones much better not worth the 125 paid though. Good luck

The answer is - It depends. The setting/feature you're talking about is in your TV, not the headphones. On some TVs, when you plug in an "external speaker" into the jack, the TV cuts off the internal speakers. If yours works that way now, it will with this device - or any similar one. I recognize that this isn't actually an 'external speaker,' but all the TV 'knows'is that something is plugged into the external speaker/headphone jack, so it shuts off the speakers.

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

Yes there is. In the back of the tv there is an "audio out" where you connect your headphones. Press the mute button on your remote control so others cannot hear and you have headphone use.

There is a 3.5 mm. stereo audio jack on the rear. You may select from "TV Speaker" or "External Speaker". In the TV Speaker mode, both the TV speakers and the external speaker are on. When in the External Speaker mode, the TV speaker is turned off and the volume and mute buttons do not operate. Using headphones would require a small amp or some sort of volume control to be practical.

You have the choice, just mute the TV so your wife can sleep, and you wear the headphones. The headphones have their own volume control independent of the TV.

try this with your TV.......http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00713RSE0/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&p;sc=1 That's what I use with bluetooth headphones so I don't disturb my neighbors in my apartment.
