Want to connect your SONY Bluetooth Wireless Headphones to your TV and listen to TV through them?
Before pairing, please check and see if your TV has built-in Bluetooth capabilities. The easiest way to do this is simply to take a look at your TV's user manual and see if you can find Bluetooth in there. Otherwise, you need to buy a Bluetooth transmitter for tv.
If your TV has built-in Bluetooth capability (please check your TV's user manual), here's what you do:
1. Get your SONY Headphone into pairing mode (Please scroll to the bottom of the page or see your SONY user manual.)
2. Go into your TV's Bluetooth menu, search & select your SONY Headphone to connect.
3. You may adjust the volume via your TV's remote control.
If your TV does NOT have built-in Bluetooth, or if you'd like to connect MORE THAN ONE PAIR of headphones to your TV simultaneously, you'll have to connect using a Bluetooth Audio Adapter, something like these:
Avantree Audikast Plus (Learn More)
Avantree Oasis Plus (Learn More)
Avantree TC419 (Learn More)
With these, you'll be able to:
- Get extended Bluetooth Range.
- Connect up to TWO PAIRS of headphones to your TV (adapter) simultaneously.
- In the case of Oasis Plus, it can be used simultaneously with a SoundBar/Stereo Receiver while sharing ONE Digital Optical Port (See THIS ARTICLE for more details regarding this function.)
