some of the newer TV's have an audio setup option that allows both internal and external speakers to be used at the same time. that would allow you to use use headphone and provide the speakers for your wife. This would require however that you use the AV connection on the TV for the headphone receiver. If you use the headphone plug on TV I think you will find that it will shut off any internal or external sound except through the headphone unit. I hope this ifrmation will help you.

headphones plugged into audio output on TV, so I wear headphones because I have hearing loss and wife adjust TV volume to suit her. Both work at the same time.

Hi Dipesh Shretha, apparently using both optical and headphone out on the same time will not work. As per settings on the TV's External Sound Output Settings, you can only choose 1 between the headphones or on the external speakers (optical) of the TV. Hope this helps. -Ely

Look for audio Left and Right channel outputs (red and white) on the back of the TV, if it has them. Some TVs only have inputs like this (not outputs - out will be clearly labelled if you have them), which won't help. If your TV has these outputs, you can connect them to any input on the back of your Sony receiver. However, even then it may not provide sound for sources connected to the TV (Sat, Cable, Disc) which are connected to your TV using HDMI cables. You could try using a headphone output on the TV plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack on the back of the Sony, which would work with all sources connected to the TV. To try this just order a stereo connection cable with male 3.5mm plugs on each end. You'd have to turn the volume up some on both the TV and Sony receiver until you find the volume setting that gives you enough range to then control with the Sony remote. Another way would be to use RCA out jacks from the Source device itself, whether that is a cable/sat box or disc player. Then you have to switch audio separately from video on the TV, which can be confusing for some. The underlying issue here is that stereo receivers lack HDMI connections, which combine sound and picture with one cable.

Hi Minitmom, you can connect the Sony MDRRF985RK Headphones on your TV either via 3.5mm headphone port or Phono jack of your TV. Set your TV to use Audio Source for the headphones instead of TV speakers. -Vincent

It depends how your TV is set up. If it has an RCA audio output jack. If this is the case, then you can listen to the TV on headphones.

There is a volume control, if your TV has a mini headphone jack you should be able to connect using it.

I believe so . . . my husband and I will watch a movie, and he sets the TV to his volume and I set the headphones to my own preference level.

Yes. I connected the RCA jacks of the TV listener directly to my DVD player's audio output. Now the sound I get is completely independent of the volume I set on my TV as long as I'm watching through my DVD player.

You should be able to if the tv has output RCA jacks coming from the tv or dvd player. I believe most still do.

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

I use a Monoprice cable RCA to 3.5 mm male headphone size connector. With that cable, I hooked up an old dvd player with RCA output to my cmoy headphone amp, then plug the speakers' 3.5 mm connector into the output of the headphone amp. I think you would need to use a headphone amp or reciever to control the output, because it would be too much power from the device to plug it into the auxillary connection on the speakers. It works great with the amp, I use the dvd player to play cd's.

If I understand your question you want to know if you can use the headphones while your wife listens to the TV which separate volume control. If this is what you are asking the answer is yes...you both can control your volume on your separate devices independently.

I think you can access audio through the unit through the HDMI set up - pretty sure . Once set up it would be the same as accessing movies just use the audio section

Yes you can. But to enable this you need to follow some steps: 1) Make sure that you have configured and enable Zone 2 on the setup 2) The source that you need to listen on the Zone 2 need to be connected using using analog cables (RCA). So if you want to watch you cable TV on the Main Output and listen to a CD from you DVD device on the Zone 2, this device need to have the analog cables also connected to the receiver input, HDMI audio cannot be routed to Zone 2. 3) Other option is to listen on Zone 2 the Onkyo Network (Pandora, DLNA, etc) or USB Device (MP3, iPod, etc). On my setup I have connected all the sources using both HDMI and Analog (RCA) cables, and I'm able to listen any source on the Zone 2 indenpendently of what I'm watching/listening on the Main 7.1 Output. Regards.

I wanted to do the same. bought the headphones because I misunderstood this answer. called tech help. you can't do this if you have a newer model digital TV like I do. there is no audio output on the TV and my TV receiver system is wireless which also doesn't have an audio out. so I have to plug the receiver into my TV headphone outlet which means there is no sound other than what is coming from the headphone. so every time I watch the TV with my husband in bed and he falls asleep, I must get out of bed and plug in my headphones. (My TV has a DIGITAL audio out (USB port) which is NOT compatible with this headphone). also the cable is too short to put the receiver on my nightstand (need to purchase an extension)(still have to get in/out of bed to plug/unplug the audio cable) true in the morning too if you both want to wake up and both watch TV in the morning in bed

Simply connect an HDMI cablefrom the "audio/video out" of the cable box or receiver into the appropriate "audio/video in" slot at the back of the Sony sub-woofer. Then connect another HDMI cable from the "audio/video out" from the sub-woofer to the "video in" slot on the HDTV. HDMI supports both picture and sound. There is also a slot for a DVD player on the back of the sub-woofer. Just plug the DVD player video out into this slot using an HDMI cable and nothing else is required. Use high speed HDMI cables when playing Blu-Ray or 3D movies. In fact 3D won't work without them.
