IR FROM PLASMA Does anybody know if these wireless headphones will work in a room with a plasma TV? Plasmas put out tons of IR and are known to cause problems with IR remotes so I have to be sure they are filtered for use near plasmas. Thanks!

I just got them and hooked them up. My plasma is causing interference when bright as well. Does moving the unit away from the tv help? Would like to explore fixes before returning.Thanks

I ordered the Pioneer SE-DIR800Cs based on this post because I have a 58" plasma TV. I had problems with a HotLink Pro for my remote due to IR noise. Unfortunately the headphones didn't work well for me when the scene on the TV became bright. I would get signal breakup until the brightness died down. The manual states that this unit shouldn't be used in a plasma system.Don't assume that you will be immune to plasma IR noise.

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.

is transmitter sitting next to your plasma, or it has to be put away?Thanks

thanks for update. How close the headphones to your plasma? Did you try to move them?ThanksIgor

thanks, now I'm not concerned anymore to have Pioneer next to my plasma. I was considered Sony too, are they really bad comparing to Pioneer?Thank you

I'm having the same problem with static apparently generated by my plasma TV -- the lighter/whiter the picture, the worse the static. Is there a solution other than getting another model headphone? If so, which one?Randy

This was the same issue I had and why I bought this product along with the optical audio cable. Prior to getting this, I was plugging my wireless headphones through RCA audio into the cable box since the TV did not have an RCA audio out. Unfortunately, when I wanted to watch movies on Smart TV Netflix or Apple TV, the sound in headphones did not work. With this converter, I plugged the Optical cable from the Optical Audio out to the converter than sent RCA audio cable to the wireless headphones. I now have sound for everything watched through the TV. You might need to shut off the Television speakers when using the headphones for Smart TV features like Netflix and Apple TV. I hope this helps

I had a plasma TV that really heated up the room but thus does not. It barely seems warm. FYI led is a type of lcd but evidently the old lcd heats things up too.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no input lag concerns for plasma televisions. Burn in was a common concern in the past, but that no longer remains an issue. I game on a plasma and whenever I have any ghosting on my screen, all I have to do is change the channel (or input) and it immediately goes away.Hope this helps.S.L. Madden

You should be able to plug in a pair of headphones into the TV and be able to hear fine. If plugged in all the way, there should be no "noise" coming out of the Television itself. We currently have normal speakers plugged into ours and no sound comes out of the TV speakers, only the speakers plugged in.

Hello! My wife and I own two plasma TVs (See recent post on Panasonic TH-50PZ800U, "Great delivery time and our recent experience") and we both wear glasses. There is little to no glare from the screen and we have not noticed any problems watching TV with glasses.By the way, our LCD and CRT TVs, also in very well lit rooms, are not different from the plasma TV display from a glare perspective. If you watch any TV at night from an angle with other light sources near the TV, maybe you'll experience a "halo" effect with your glasses, but it's not unique to plasma TVs. Hello!

I can't say how well these cables work for plasma 3d TV's because I own a LG LCD 1080 HDTV. I can say that they have worked exceptionally great with both our TV and Blu-Ray player. If your not sure about these cables ,I suggest that you do more research before you purchase . I hope that what ever cables you choose ,work to your needs.

I am at ~1000 feet and my TV buzzes. I only notice it if I am directly in front of the TV at any distance away. Off axis the buzz nearly dissapears. Regardless, I don't typically notice it when watching anything at normal volume. I don't find it excessive. From what I have read, I understand this buzzing is inherent in plasma technology.

I have never tried it, but I am pretty sure the answer is no. You would need headsets with a wireless channel setting. On the IR wireless you do not have the ability to change the channel setting. There is simply an on/off power switch and a volume knob. I have had more expensive wireless headphones that allow you to switch between channels. The IR wireless headphones seem to pick up on the nearest wireless channel available.

At least two of the previous answers about this soundbar system claim to have used it with a plasma TV successfully. Since it's a Panasonic product and it plays whatever the TV set receives via cable, satellite, or over the air, I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work with your plasma set.

I don't know what they work with. They don't really work with our Panasonic Plasma. I wish I would have bought the one specifically for our TV. It would have saved money in the long run.

Unfortunately I never heard of infrared wireless headphones until today. As such I am not a good choice. However, the owner hosts a website and active forum - you may be able to find your answer there and/or post a question to be answered. My initial take though is that this is rather bulky - sitting in front of a cable box is one thing but used in a car ... dunno. Sorry and good luck!

I am thinking of buying the plasma 8000, but am concerned about the reviews that mention how warm the tv gets. The plasma I am replacing sits behind a built in entreatment center. While there is some air circulation, it is definitely not the same as having a fully exposed tv. Does anyone know if this is a legitimate concern? I want to avoid future problems possibly stemming from over heated circuits.

I bought the RF because I wanted to be able to still listen even when leaving the room. IR is line of sight and if something comes between you and the base unit you lose the signal. It works well for me but possibly other signals in the area could interfere with the RF but so far I have had no difficulty. I can go to the bathroom and still hear the TV.

Thanks for the reply JT.Let me rephrase the question. Plasma TVs are well known to cause mild to severe interference to the operation of IR extender/emitter system. TV itself can be operated with the remote without problems. It is the target/receiver of the extender system that gets drowned in the plasma TV's IR storm and stops responding to the remote control. IR extender from CTG did not work well in my room due to the presence of plasma TV.Some extenders are known to have overcome this interference. So I wanted to know if this extender from Logitech works well in the presence of plasma TV or not. Please chime in with your experience with this issue.

I would like to find out myself as my father is hearing-impaired and wireless headphones will prevent a tripping hazard. Sonystyle.com has wireless infrared headphones with rechargeable docking base for $49.95 (and up) that had received some good reviews. Infrared means you will need a clear line of sight from TV or receiver to the headphones. I am most likely going to have to buy w/o auditioning a pair. I am keenly interested in a set that is compatible with surround sound like DTS. I also bought the Sony KDL-46XBR9 bundled with Blu-ray player and HTSS360 HTIB (home theater in a box). The receiver has no headphone jack so I will need to set up the headphones via TV.
