Do the headphone out and main out transmit audio simultaneously, or does plugging in a set of headphones kill the main out?

They can be used simultaneously. There are no separate volume controls so the volume knob controls both.

There is no absolute answer for this. In most cases, when you plug a headphone into the headphone jack on your equipment, the sound to the external speakers is muted, automatically. In fact, that's one of the slightly annoying things about this device because the transmitter plugs into the headphone jack and must be unplugged any time you want to have the external speakers on. If your TV has RCA plugs out you can use an adapter;2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inchto connect your headphone transmitter to those plugs. Then you can just use your TV onscreen menu to select the audio output you connect the adapter to. I hope this helps. There is no absolute answer for this.

That's a function of the TV and how you connect to it. If the TV mutes the audio out in lockstep with the speakers, then the headphones will mute with the TV.

You probably have to use the other end of the cable. Don't know why they did it but that's what I found. Works fine that way. The headphones are great.

There is no output labeled "headphones". On the back of the set, where you connect it to either a cable box or the coax, there are two other outputs. One is simply labeled "Audio Out", the other is "PC Audio", which goes with the PC out. There are no connections on the front of the set, or top, left and right sides. My info is based primarily on the documentation that came with it since it was not possible for me to directly look at the back of the set due to its position on a high kitchen shelf.

The answer is "no". When you plug a set of headphones into the surround sound receiver, the speakers are automatically muted and you can only listen through the headphones.

TV plug into Audio but then you are the only one that hear it through the head phones and if you plug to the back of your receiver where you can hear and another person sitting there can hear on tv plug into audio using the red and black or red and yellow cords that came with the head phones. if your getting static you need to push the button on the headphones and it should give you a good signal. If you have another headphone system too close to your tv then both headphones will only work off the main tv. My daughter has two pairs so she can listen to tv in her room with out us having to hear hers but she gets our signal because the receivers are too close together. They are great headphones you just need to move the transmitter and use the tuner.

I don't think anyone answered the question correctly. It will depend on the TV/audio equipment being used and the set up. If a surround sound receiver is being used, normally if anything is plugged into it's headphone jack, sound will no longer be transmitted to the regular speakers. If using only the TV speakers, some TVs will only allow sound to come out of either the regular TV speakers OR out of the Audio Out, but other TV's allow sound out of both. In our setup, the TV audio out feeds the surround sound receiver. So to get sound to come out of both the surround sound receiver and the headphones at the same time, we used a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack splitter (3.5mm male x 2 - 3.5mm female).

both the line/headphone output and RCA output are in the same circuit so having something plugged into both at the same time halves the signal strength

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....

It certainly plugs into the standard audio socket, not just the RCA jacks, and I must say on behalf of my parents this is a truly life changing piece of kit. Just to expand on that using the standard audio socket does cut the speakers off (on their TV) I suspect had we used the alalog outputs the speakers would still work alongside the headphones.

Yes. The only thing that doesn't work when plugged in are the controls for track selection, pausing, & volume. The ANC is actually completely separate from those other function. The ANC can even be on when the headphones are "off".

Headphone control still work... Note that the splitter has 3 rings in the tip... That's for the headphone control

yes I intermix the headphones and transmitters with no problem. I have a transmitter on each source I want to use the earphones with. Just have only one transmitter on at a time or the signals will combine .

Yes, you can feed two different outputs to your headphones through this cable. I currently connect a bluetooth receiver as well as my audio out from my flatscreen TV to a single set of speakers. Obviously to avoid sound from both devices coming through at once you will have to shut one them off. No complaints with this cable at all it has very worked well.

My wife and I use 2 headphones with a single source. The way we do it is we plug one headphone base into the stereo and then both headphones connect to that base wirelessly. I set it up once and haven't had any issues. You still need to plug both bases into a wall outlet to charge, but at least 2 headphones work off one base. The base that isn't connected to an audio source doesn't transmit because of the feature that puts it to sleep if it isn't receiving sound. If you only want to use one set, you will need to use the set that is charging on the base that is connected to your audio source. My wife and I use 2 headphones with a single source.

The head/earphone input is where you can plug in but everyone has to remember, each piece performs specific functions.Just because it can plug into a generic headphone slot, your ear "buds" wont work because they are not a compatible "receiver" and vice versa.They transmitter "tower" cannot send to ANY headphone or ear piece (just because you might be able to plug them in) because they are not designed RECEIVE its transmissions (they are not compatible). I think folks forget they are not supposed to be "connected" but they are to receive the signal/sound. Good luck.
