How do you hook up the Sony Wireless Headphones Model MDR-RF985RK to the TV so that I am the only one who can hear the TV sound

The wireless headphones come with a transmitter with two cables attached . You simply plug these cables in to the back of the TV--One is usually white and the other is red. The transmitter is then capable of sending the sound to the headphones. You can then MUTE the sound on the TV and you hear the sound loud and clear and no one else can hear anything . It would be as if the TV was NOT on. My house is wired forwireless and some TV are not adaptable so check for this before committing.

Your tv must have an audio output. You will also need an audio cable to make this connection (one cable split into two at each end, each end having a red connector and a white connector), possibly purchased separately. This cable must be connected from your earphone's audio input to the audio output on your tv. Turning the sound down on your tv will not affect the sound level on your earphones. The earphones have their own volume control.

All you do is hook it up to your cable or satellite receiver and turn down the tv.

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

Cables come with the headset. The cables are used to plug the charging base to the television. The headset is wireless and has controls for volume. Only the person wearing the headset can hear the volume. No volume will come from the t.v. The headset shuts off when it's taken off to save battery life.

Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole. Ie look on the bottom of your tv for something that says "digital audio out" to connect the digital audio cord from the base to the tv. If you don't have that, look in same area for something that says "audio right" and "audio left" or it might say "audio R" and "audio L" then plug in your yellow and white cord to the connectors and other end of cord goes to your tv ears base. No wires are connected from the tv ears to the base as they are wireless. Hope this helps you out. Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole.

I just received this TV. There is one connection on the back that will accept a headphone connection, but it is for PC input, so you won't be getting anything out of it. So far I've found two options for using headphones, and they both need an adapter such as Cables To Go 03182 - 3.5mm Stereo Female to RCA Male Y-Cable (Discontinued by Manufacturer)1. Hook to the TV and change the speakers option to "audio system" instead of "TV speakers." Even with the volume maxed, the output wasn't very loud in my headphones.2. Hook to my DirecTV box, which gives me louder output with no way to control it. I just received this TV.

Depending upon the model TV that you have, look for Audio Out jacks on the back of the TV. They will look like 2X red and white RCA type jacks. Get a short ext. cord with RCA at one end and the micro-audio jack for the wireless and link them up. That way you'll have to manually mute the TV speakers when you listen to the phones or you can leave everything off (muted) or on...whatever...your choice.

Wow, bless your heart. I spent hours on the phone with Sony and Panasonic only to be spinning my wheels. Ended up returning my soundbar. Perhaps Radio Shack might be able to help you out. Sorry, I'm not much help. I wish you well.

I must have something hooked up wrong because my Roku does not work with my Sennheiser RS120 Headphones.I hear my TV fine but hear nothing that is Roku related. Can I do something differently? Do I need a blue tooth bridge? I would love a solution.

You need to take the audio cable from the head phones and bring it to Radio Shack. Ask for the audio adopter for TV.

There is not headphone capability on this soundbar, I have direct connect to the TV receiver, Via wireless headphones (RF). I just turn off the soundbar and use the RF headphones.

Just read this on another post. Haven't tried it yet: "...we had the same problem. We finally resolved it by connecting the Roku to the TV via HDMI cables, and then using the A/V cable that came with your Roku, connect that from the Roku to your headphones using two of the connectors but not the yellow one. You'll need to get two female RC connectors so the two ends of the A/V cable and the headphones receiver connectors will connect."

Find the audio outs on the television. Once you know where that is, then plug an RCA cable from that audio out connection to the transmitter that comes along with your wireless headphones. This will take the audio from the TV, pass it to the transmitter and then the transmitter will send it to your headphones. If not transmitter you are out of luck as you will need something (amp) in middle of tv and headphones to pass the sound.

I hooked them up to my ps3 but I used a usb adapter to plug them in. Something like this will let you use the mic: Sabrent USB 2.0 Virtual External 7.1 Surround Sound Adapter (USB-AUDD)I also used 3.5mm Female to 2 RCA Male Jack Audio Video Cable 1.5M to get the sound from the tv to the headphones because I don't think it came through the headphone slot on the adapter for some reason.

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.
