Listen to music while watching TV: Can you listen to music while watching muted TV somehow on this receiver, on my Sony I cannot, I have to choose my FM or IPAD or choose TV, sometimes I want to watch a ballgame and have the music playing?

I do not have this product, but I have been doing research on this receiver for a little bit. Happen to come across this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-54gx09HGQ. It would appear that you can listen to music from any source and watch muted tv.

Can you still hear the sound through the TV as well as the wireless speakers. I would like to hear the sound from both, and it is unclear whether using the speakers stops the sound coming out of the TV too? I see that when you use the headphone jack, the sound does stop coming out of the TV. But when you use the RCA plug, does that change anything and allow the sound to come from both?

Yes you can turn off the TV Ear and still hear the TV. This speaker is really a great product!

I'm not sure. I'm out of state right now; so, I can't check it out. My guess: yes, you can listen to FM with Aux plugged in.

I don't stream anything, but I don't see why the TV Ears wouldn't work because whatever audio is coming from the TV is sent to the TV Ears. It doesn't make any difference what you're watching.

If you want to listen tv programs through your bluetooth headphones on the sofa, then NO. For that purpose you need bluethot with also transmitting function. This only recieves signal only audio and I can't see the reason why whould you need to do this. This is best to equip your old car or home audio system with a bluetooth function to stream your music from your phone or music player.

I also have the same question as the first couple of posts. My husband is hearing impaired and it is hard to watch TV with him having the volume so loud. So, if we have our TV hooked up to a reciever and get him a wireless head set and hook the head set up to the TV will we both be able to watch TV and each be able to control the volume to suit each of us?

So chapman, I don't need the Bluetooth thing to play music wirelessly. How did You get the ipad to play music to the receiver via wifi. Does the receiver comes out as a option in the ipad to play music wirelessly ? And how about the iPhone app does it work with the wifi or do I need to buy the Bluetooth adapter?

TV plug into Audio but then you are the only one that hear it through the head phones and if you plug to the back of your receiver where you can hear and another person sitting there can hear on tv plug into audio using the red and black or red and yellow cords that came with the head phones. if your getting static you need to push the button on the headphones and it should give you a good signal. If you have another headphone system too close to your tv then both headphones will only work off the main tv. My daughter has two pairs so she can listen to tv in her room with out us having to hear hers but she gets our signal because the receivers are too close together. They are great headphones you just need to move the transmitter and use the tuner.

I have direct tv. I have it connected from the dish box to the receiver to the tv. I turn on the direct box and tv , pause then turn the receiver. after that no problems. I always have to turn on the receiver or it will not pass through without doing that . after I turn on the receiver and everything is running I can turn off the receiver and it will pass through so I am listening to just the tv. I hope you understand what I just wrote.....

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.

I have hearing problem but my wife can hear very well, my question is, can I hear through head phone, same time other person hear TV from TV speaker?

You can still hear the music. However, the volume is not loud. Plus this setup is for a home audio situation. For example, I have a Airport express which my iPad streams it's audio to which then streams the sound to my home theater.

I have the same question as the first 3people. In my case I can no longer watch tv with others unless I use subtitles because I need the tv so loud to hear it. I have great plug in headphones for when I am alone, but if I want to enhance the volume while others watch at a lower volume I want a wireless set. Is there such a thing? I have tried TV Ears but they they no longer work, they seem short lived.

Not familiar with your TV, but on my Vizio, there is an RCA Audio Out. I use this for my headphones, works great. Cannot put TV on mute however, thus you also lose sound in headphones. To use headphones alone, just reduce volume on TV.Hope this might help.
