I'm using optical output to Orei from TV. Then 3.5 mm jack to headphones. How can I adjust volume?

You are not supposed to connect directly big "regular" headphones to Orei DA34 decoder : the output impedance, although not specified (500 Ohms ?), is likely too high for anything bigger than "earphones". You should use an intermediate line-&gt;headphone amplifier, with built-in volume control. Note that some wireless headphones such as the Sennheiser RS160 provide volume control directly on the headphones.

I just change the volume on the device that is playing, like my iPhone for example. Hope that helps!

Looks like you only have digital audio out so you will need to buy Orei DA21 Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA or other converter. The Orei is what I bought and it works great.

I'm not aware of any solutions apart from utilizing the headphone out on your audio receiver. With a TV this nice you've got a sound system, right? ;-)

If you have a black box or a DVR Box from your cable company, there are the abc plugs in back of those units. Just plug in and mute your TV and then you can control the volume with the TV Ears.

Dave, check the rear of your TV for the Audio Output, should be two ,right and left . you connect the white and red leads from the TV Listener transmitter to the TV. Set the transmitter in your line of sight so your headphones can connect with its beam. you control the volume from the head set. The TV can be on mute or low low and you can still control the volume. I love these headphones'

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... http://www.amazon.com/Orei-DA21X-Premium-Converter-Headphone/dp/B00F4ORTZ6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1427066981&sr=8-4&keywords=digital+to+audio+converter You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)

Yes, just connect cables to the two RCA input jacks located on the back of the unit. Use a cable with a Y from a stereo jack to the audio output of your TV, as for a headphone output.On the unit, press the Source button repeatedly to enter Aux/Line Mode, indicated by a white light.Or use the remote to choose the Aux/Line input.

The Stereo Audio Output Jack on the bottom can be used as an optical audio output jack also. You will need a Toslink to Optical Mini Plug Digital Cable or an optical cable with an Optical 3.5mm Mini Adapter. I've tried both ways and each way worked very well.

There is no way to turn the volume off when it is hooked to the tv. I have tried everything. I contacted Orei and they said to mute the unit, but if you do that you mute the sound on the tv as well. The way I have gotten around this problem is I plug the earbuds that came with unit into the headphone jack. The sound will go into them and you don't have sound of the unit and tv going at the same time. I hope this helps. :)

I don't believe so, at least not directly. The "audio out" on this set is a proprietary optical audio jack called TOS-LINK (abbreviated version of "Toshiba-Link"). A standard headphone jack (3.5mm) will not fit into, nor produce sound from a TOS-LINK jack. Your only hope, from what I can tell, would be to find an adapter cable with a male end to connect into the television's TOS-LINK outlet and a female end to connect your 3.5mm headphones into. A few quick Google searches didn't produce much of anything worthwhile, so the technology may not exist, but if you find out otherwise, be sure to share!

Unfortunately it does not have any volume control whatsoever. The headphones were meant for personal listening. The audio line isn't long enough presumably if your jacking it to your tv, you would have to be standing pretty close if that's the case. The jack is a 3.5mm and most TVs would need a adapter. Hope this answers your question.

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

If you connect the sound bar to a TV via the included Optical Cable, that will NOT mute the TV's speakers. When connected via Optical Cable you need to lower the speaker volume to zero or press "Mute" on the TV remote, then control the volume thru the Sound Bar's remote... If you want the convenience of controlling ALL TV functions with a single remote, use the Headphone output on the TV to connect to the "Portable" input jack on the Sound Bar, via a double-ended male 3.5mm stereo cable. (Search on Amazon for ASIN: B0002ZPJZO.) Set the TV & Sound Bar volume level to no more than "50" and control the TV volume using only the TV remote thereafter.

go to Setting and scroll down and hit Accessory. Put a check mark where it says audio output mode.

There is an icon for the volume in the bottom right hand corner. Right click on it and open volume control and adjust as needed.

It's a little annoying, but go into your game or Netflix settings for volume control. There you can adjust all sfx and volume settings. It's not perfect, but it beats purchasing a $100 headphone amp.
