I have to turn OFF the TV, turn on the headphones, then turn the TV back on. Do I always have to turn on the headphones first, then the TV?

It all depends on how long it takes your TV Bluetoothe Transmitter to be active & Transmit, after you turn your TV on, even if you already have the TV Bluetoothe active on your TV..Many times, If your Headphones are turned off & your TV is turned on, the TV Bluetoothe Transmitter doesn't sense an active Bluetoothe device (Your Headphones) right away & will go idle..It's best to turn on your Headphones first & then turn on your TV, that way your TV Bluetoothe Transmitter will sense an active device (Your Headphones) and instantly connect instead of going idle..Sure hope this helps you understand the conditioning..Mahalo's & Aloha It all depends on how long it takes your TV Bluetoothe Transmitter to be active & Transmit, after you turn your TV on, even if you already have the TV Bluetoothe active on your TV..Many times, If your Headphones are turned off & your TV is turned on, the TV Bluetoothe Transmitter doesn't sense an active Bluetoothe device (Your Headphones) right away & will go idle..It's best to turn on your Headphones first & then turn on your TV, that way your TV Bluetoothe Transmitter will sense an active device (Your Headphones) and instantly connect instead of going idle..Sure hope this helps you... » Read More It all depends on how long it takes your TV Bluetoothe Transmitter to be active & Transmit, after you turn your TV on, even if you already have the TV Bluetoothe active on your TV..Many times, If your Headphones are turned off & your TV is turned on, the TV Bluetoothe Transmitter doesn't sense an active Bluetoothe device (Your Headphones) right away & will go idle..It's best to turn on your Headphones first & then turn on your TV, that way your TV Bluetoothe Transmitter will sense an active device (Your Headphones) and instantly connect instead of going idle..Sure hope this helps you understand the conditioning..Mahalo's & Aloha « Show Less

More than likely but check your TV Bluetooth settings. Is the Bluetooth on all the time? Do you have to go into settings to make it look for paired devices? Each device paired will be different. My tablet I have to turn on the Bluetooth first because if I am not using itiI save batteries. The headset itself is not going to stay on if it isn't going to be in use I believe. So check your TV settings see if there is the link or button to see if it needs activate.

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

I didn't use the headphones with the television, but I am assuming this should be the same as any device. You should not need to turn one on before the other, just press the button to search for devices that have not been sync'd with the headphones. That should work.

I haven't had thet problem. Once, I had to have the tv "rediscover" my headphones but I've had them now for a while and except for that one incident no problem. It take about 5 - 10 seconds for the bluetooth connection but it always seems to connect.

One would think the manufacturer would include these instructions in the owner's manual. No, you do not need to turn off the TV. There is approx a 10 second pause after you turn the headset on. I think you just need to wait for the sound to come on. At least that is the way mine works. Good luck.

there is a charging stand that is how the headphones interact with the TV..once you take the head phones off and turn them off you just set the headphones on the stand and they charge..I often just leave power off to the charger and the headphones and they maintain a charge.

You will only need to pair it once. I have mine paired with the tv and bt earphones. I can turn both the tv and the earphones off and the will re pair once I turn them back on. You should have no problem with yours.

No. I listen to music from my phone via bluetooth with the TV off. Does a nice job with the sound.

No, they do not mute your TV. You have to turn the volume completely down on your TV and adjust the volume in the headphones to suit you. Works like a charm and makes my husband happy when he wants to go to bed early and I want to continue watching TV. ;-)

Chime sound - Hit the 'menu' button on your remote, go down to the "Setup" icon (moving gears), hit the enter button (circular button in the middle of the up/down/left/right arrow buttons), go down to the "Melody" menu item, click the right arrow button. Choose "Off". Headset - I'd recommend getting a wireless headset. You can hook this up to the audio out connections in the back of the set. Do a search for 'wireless headphones' on Amazon and you'll have tons of choices. Touch of red - I, too, don't see why Samsung makes mention of this in their materials, or why people react to it. I'm guessing you have to have the TV in front of a very light background to see it. Mine sits in a dark wood entertainment center, and isn't noticeable.

Yes, you can either mute the tv or turn the volume all the way down (that way you dont see the mute symbol) and control the volume on the head phones.

Only if the tv volume is turned up. The head phones have volume adjustment.

I don't have this unit, but usually headphones have to be plugged into a headphone jack on the TV in order to mute the speakers.

No - you must use your TV's headphone jack. Connecting this sound bar won't automatically turn off TV's sound (so you'd have to turn off TV's speakers from its menu), so the headphone jack on TV should also be alive. Just don't turn on the sound bar and use your headphone directly on your TV.

It depends upon how loud the TV is turned up and how loud the headphones are turned up. There isn't one straight answer because of these variances.

Scotterz is right. If you want to use this headphones, you need an IR transmitter. If your TV have IR transmitting feature, you can buy it.

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.

It depends on the TV, if your TV has a line out that fits this size jack then no, but if you are using the headphone jack on the TV then yes, you would need to unplug the cable from the TV to listen to the TV.

Yes. I have programmed one button to turn on tv and audio and another to turn both off. Also done for dvd, audio and tv. It takes some patience and a programmer's mentality, but it's all explained in manual.

Hi Janell, hope this helps. Plug the transmitter unit into the AUDIO OUT plug and then turn the knob on the headphones to select TV. The headphones also get FM radio with the selection dial on the headphone. Good Luck

The TV will turn on when the Blu-Ray player is turned on. The other devices will turn off when the television is turned off. The logic is that by turning on the Blu-Ray player, the TV will need to be on to navigate and watch. But just because the TV is on doesn't mean the Blu-Ray player or Home Theater system is necessarily wanted each time. So as a power-saving feature, the entire lineup of devices won't turn on - but turning them on first will activate the television. So power on with the Blu-Ray/Home Theater system and power off with the TV - and the other devices will follow. Does that help explain? --Mr. S
