I don't understand how this could happen. I don't have a good answer for you.

Not exactly sure about your setup. If the unit you plug the Compilot base into has audio-out/RCA type it should work as designed without affecting the speakers. This is not the headphone jack hookup. As I tried to explain in my review, this baby works so well for me, I cannot believe it. The audio-out ports should not affect the speakers. I'd guess it would be the same as with a TV. As I understand it, audio-out ports are getting the sound signal prior to the volume/speaker components, thus your plugged in device needs the volume control/amplification...which the Compilot provides for you. Hope this helps you and does not create too much confusion. Not exactly sure about your setup.

I had the same problem. You can make it work and keep the sound on the speakers if you use either the optical output or the digital output from your TV or receiver. Neither will probably work initially when you hook it up to the TV link. The key is that you will have to go to each source box (directTV box, playstation, cable box, etc.) and edit the settings and change the audio output from Dolby Digital to PCM. Once you do that, the TV link will work great, and you can still have sound from the speakers at the same time.

Yes IF. On my 1 years old 55" Sony smart TV other listeners can not hear the TV speakers if I plug the head phones into the audio out on the TV. Perhaps some TVs will allow listeners to hear when headphones are plugged into TV Audio out jack. I'm on cable and therefore have a cable box ahead of my TV. By plugging the headphones into the cable box audio out sound is available to both headphones and other listeners hear the TV speakers.

You can do a couple things. Buy an adapter for RCA like you said, or try to go right into your receiver. If you have a cable box, then you could pull the audio directly from there instead of through the tv. What i do is pull the audio through my home theatre system instead of through the tv.

Sure, as long as your TV has the output for Toslink or Coaxial and your headphones use the 3.5mm audio jack or RCA. The only problem I can see you having is that on my TV you cannot control the volume via the TV so your headphone should have some sort of volume control.

Hi Eddie. I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great. Greg

I don't think anyone answered the question correctly. It will depend on the TV/audio equipment being used and the set up. If a surround sound receiver is being used, normally if anything is plugged into it's headphone jack, sound will no longer be transmitted to the regular speakers. If using only the TV speakers, some TVs will only allow sound to come out of either the regular TV speakers OR out of the Audio Out, but other TV's allow sound out of both. In our setup, the TV audio out feeds the surround sound receiver. So to get sound to come out of both the surround sound receiver and the headphones at the same time, we used a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack splitter (3.5mm male x 2 - 3.5mm female).

The speaker was intended to handle TV input only. I use a digital optical audio cable and it performs v well. Again, not intended for component use unless your AVR has optical option. The RCA inputs are avail. but will have limited performance.

Usually, plugging something into the headphone jack turns off the speakers. Would make much sense otherwise, right? Test it on your TV with any mini-jack headphones/earbuds.

Not sure what your setup is but if you have picture and no sound check your audio settings. If it's set to output to AV Receiver you won't get sound to the TV speakers. That's my setup with the WD-73737 and a Sony AVR. I hope this helps but if not please provide more details on your setup .

Instead of an amplifier, using a home theater receiver such as Denon, Pioneer, Yamaha, Sony, etc. is a better alternative since you can use the unit as part of your home stereo system. Most of these receivers, if not all, have TV, DVD Player, CD Player, AM/FM Radio, etc. audio inputs at the back. Using an audio cable (red/white color), connect the TV audio output to the TV audio input of the HT receiver by matching the color of the connectors. Using speaker cables, connect the left speaker to the left channel speaker terminals at the back of the receiver. Watch the cable polarity by matching "+" & "-" terminals at both ends otherwise the speakers will not sound good. Do the same to the right speaker. Turn on the TV & HT receiver. Set or click the TV input at the receiver and adjust the volume as needed. You can either leave the TV sound on or turn it down to the minimum, your choice.

My sound system receiver fried. I would like to hook this directly to my tv or dvd system. Neither of them have speaker jacks. They both have one rca out or multiple s video/audio spots. How does this hook into them? I do not see any outlets other than speaker wire.

what you need to do is get a RCA to headphone jack if your TV have headphone jack. or a optical to audio converter if not the sound will not come out.

I don''t have a Apple TV unit so not familiar with the set up. If you receive sound through both speakers by removing the Apple TV unit from the circuit and hook the DAC to your TV and your analog components, then I doubt the DAC is creating the problem.

It depends what outputs your TV or AV receiver offer. I connected my headset to an output that is independent of the TV audio amplifier, enabling me to use the headsets with the TV speakers off or on.

This depends on how the transmitter is hooked up to the TV, and/or sound system. At first I hooked them to the headphone jack to test the frequency and range of the headphones. On my system, this set-up will mute all other outputs. I now have them hooked up to the audio out jack at the back of my receiver, and the headphones and speakers both operate with independent volume control (although, I must adjust the speaker volume first, then adjust the headphone volume to adjust to the speaker set point.

It depends on how your TV delivers it's sound. If it has a low level analogue out(RCA jacks) you should have no problem(except for a possible delay in the sound. However if your only output is a headphone jack, it might defeat the TV sound. I can't really help you without your TV's manual.

You may have to change the setting on your tv to use the external speaker. Mine sounds great.
