If my TV has an optical out, would i plug the optical cable that came with the headset into the optical in or out on the transmitter?

Thanks for your question. your headset should connect to your TV, there is no outlet on the bar for them. This is a fantastic sounding bar.

We bought two headsets - each comes with its own optical connector wire. We then bought an optical splitter box (wasn't too costly) and one extra optical cord (tiny wire). We hooked the one optical cord to the TV "optical out" and the splitter box "in." We then hooked each headphone's optical cord connector into the two "outs" on the splitter box. Both headphones sound FABULOUS! Hope this helps. As far as I know, you cannot piggyback another set of headphones, as each "tower" (which is also the recharging unit for the headphones) connects to its own individual signal.

HI William, I have my optical cord connected to my Dish network receiver out to the Sony surround sound. The Sony unit is connected with an HDMI to the TV.. it sounds great. The only signal going to the TV is the video the sound goes thru the Sony surround Sound. Hope I answered your question if not I would go to the Sony Website I'm sure customer service can help you there..

Depending you may not need it. Most optical outputs on TVs are normal size, and this is an adaptor that 'downsizes' the connection to a smaller plug if you need that. First get a normal optical cable with normal size connectors at both ends and try them in both your TV and your sound bar. If they fit great. If one or both the TV and the sound bar need a smaller connection then you will need one of these for connecting to each of the items that need the smaller connection. Hope that helps.

Any newer TV will have an audio out port. Usually they'll have Optical also called TOSLINK. sometimes though it's only the old RCA red and white style. get yourself one of the type of cable that you need and then run that from your TV to your receiver

Two headsets can receive the same signal from one transmitter when switched to the same channel. I have 3 headset at home and switch any pair to the tv I'm watching.

The Headset is wireless from the transmitter but has to be in line of site for good reception. The transmitter is hooked up to the TV or to the cable box (set top box) if you prefer.

You will have to connect the optical cable from the TV to your home theater receiver. Once this is done then you have to select the TV source on your home theater system to get sound through the TV. That is how I was able to get it to work for me. Hope this helps.

Optical out is one of two digital audio types of output -- the other is coaxial. So optical out actually is digital out.

Neither. It is powered by your controller. It is not a stand alone headset. If you wanted to watch TV or a BluRay using your headset, you have to have it connected to your controller and the controller has to be on.

Optical in and RCA 2 channel out. This is the reason for the unit to convert digital (optical) to analog (RCA 2 channel typically). Works great.

No idea. But, I've success when turning off my headset. turn off the transmitter. wait 10 seconds. Turn on the transmitter, blinking red/blue. Turn on headset, listen for the screwy whine that the two recognized each other. Start the music/tv/phone/cd player. Usually works for me. Note: if the cable out of the transmitter has broken and exposed wire, with enough bending this will happen, then you're screwed. Next time you buy one, wrap 1/8 x 2" strips of electrical tape around the base of the cable to keep it from bending so much.

Yes, if you TV does not have optical out this is the way to go. I had the same problem and this little device solved for me.

I have a new HDTV and it only has the optical output. We went from the cable box to the TV with HDMI, but I also want to connect to a home theater system. My receiver is an older one and does not have HDMI or optical. Can I just use the left- right audio outputs that are on the back of the cable box for the audio receiver as well as using the HDMI for the television??? Sal
