how easy to connect to plasma tv? Can you lower the tv volume completely and have the whole audio come thru the headset?

I am not sure if Plasma TVs are different than LCD TVs, but I guess you would connect the headphone to them the same way. For my Samsung LCD TV it was relatively easy to connect the cable from the headset transmitter to the TV optical port (just unplug the plastic cap first from the optical cable).Also in most modern TVs, when you connect the headset transmitter, you can set the TV to direct the audio to the external device only (the headphones), so the volume level on your TV has no use (you may not even be able to change it).

Hello Cindy,I have not tried it on a plasma TV so make sure you have a fiber optic audio output on your TV.Yes you can lower the volume completely to 0 and control your audio locally in your headset and the sound experience is outstanding you will be amazed as you will hear things you never heard before.Hope I have answered you question sufficiently.Cheers

The Sony was was easy to setup and works as claimed. It is connected to an A/V receiver, all the inputs are can be viewed in silence I my bedroom

Yes you can. The base connects to your TV via a toslink optical cable, a necessity to get the high quality audio signal. Not only can you turn down the TV's volume, but really you must, there is just enough delay in the signal getting to the headphones that you hear a disconcerting "echo" if you try to use the headphones while the speakers are on. BTW the pseudo 7.1 sound really is nice.

I have a LCD and all you need is an audio connection point and plug it in. You also plug the transmitting tower to 110v, put the headset on the tower, let it charge up, push the start/stop button on the headset and listen.You can turn the sound completely off on the TV and use the volume control on the headset to set the sound where you want it. You can turn the sound off and on from the button on the headset. When you place the headset onto the transmitting tower in the proper slot, it recharges the headset and automatically turns it off if you have not done that. Excellent product for me.

The headset stand has an optical (digital) input and my Panasonic plasma TV has an optical audio output. Simply connecting one to the other allows the headset audio to operated totally independently from the TV audio. Depending on the distance from the TV to the headset stand you may need to order a toslink optical cable.

Mine is. I'm using it between my desktop and Onkyo receiver connected to the plasma for playing Call of Duty with no problems. It also sends the sound for in game surround. What didn't know was that it also seems intent connection through it.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

Hi! I assume you mean for connection to the tv? As a matter of fact the easiest and best connection is via the digital optical jack. Barring that you'll need to use an analog audio connection. Hope that helps....

i'm not sure I understand the question, but if you are using this with the tv, you should be able to control volume easily through the button on the headset or through the tv volume, each volume is separate, you can't turn the tv volume off because if you mute it you won't hear through the headset, but if your tv is paired with these headsets the sound will not come out of your tv speakers and will only come out of the headset, so no need to turn it off if that is your question.

I also use HDMI. I had trouble figuring out the sound at first, but went on you tube and a 10 year old kid taught me how to get it working:). It wasn't difficult at all. Took about 15 min of trying myself and about 2 min after I watched the kid do it on you tube.

This headset comes with red and white audio piggy-back connectors so they can link to the audio in or out of your tv and a USB plug to power them. Note your tv will need a USB port. They have a built in mixer to adjust the volume of the ingame audio and the voice chat audio in the left speaker as well as a mic on/off switch. Nothing is really needed unless your tv does not have the red and white audio pluggins on the back. If that is the case, you will need to purchase an adapter which will connect to the back of your xbox 360. ALSO if your TV lacks a USB port, you can use one of the ports located on the back of your Xbox 360.

I sit about 13 to 15 feet from the plasma with the base unit near the TV. I purchased wireless due to constraints with running wires and the only location for the base was near the TV. By moving the unit further away from my TV I may was well go wired (which I did, Sennheiser HD595).I did move closer to the unit and still had problems. Too much IR noise from my plasma.

Yes, everyone else can still hear the TV at their level of volume, while a person hard of hearing uses the headphones. When my dad, who is completely deaf in one ear and going deaf in the other, wheres these headphones, we're able to have the volume to half the level my dad would need it to hear. There is a separate volume control on the headphones themselves, that the wearer can use to adjust the volume. Also, my dad has the transmitter behind the TV, and still works great.

I have a slightly different Panasonic Plasma but I think the remotes are the same. I can control the volume with the TV remote. There are a couple of things that don't work. The dialog level feature of the soundbar can't be controlled and there is no sound level indicator bar on the TV. The volume goes up or down but there is no sound level display.

Hey James--I just finished hooking up my Onkyo HT-S5100 to my Panasonic blu-ray and Panasonic plasma tv. The sound is just amazing! Don't let the nay-sayers drive you crazy. You just hook up the HDMI to the player, Onkyo and tv. But I used a Toslink optical cable to feed the sound from the tv to the Onkyo.Uh, this was my first experience with optical cables. It took my two hours to realize there are almost invisible silicone covers on the tips. Two hours wasted--DOAH!

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.

Not sure about plasma but don't know why it wouldn't.It comes with an infra red device that picks up the signals from the TV and transmits them to the headphones. It works very well. We have 2 headsets so we can both watch and listen.We don't always need them but some British shows have audio issues so the head sets are necessary.

Only if you want to. I watch TV with the volume on the TV turned all the way down. At any point, with the TV remote, you can raise or lower the TV's volume. The headphones have their own volume controls. That's one of the things that makes them so awesome! :))

Yes, just connect a common audio cable to the "Audio Out" on your TV and to the headphone base. The cable comes with the headphones. Its very easy to install and works great! You can turn the volume all the way down on the TV and use the volume control on the headphones. The sound is far superior to "TV Ears".

When I say they are loud, they are loud. I can't even put them up to 50 without dealing with roommates or other people next door having to tell me to turn it down. I haven't had that happen unless on my game or watching TV. That's just me on the audio quality. I still need to mess with it to see if there's a way, if I wanted to, to change the audio to concert hall or some other kind of audio format option.
