Can two people watch tv with only one having a device, or is tv sound cut out? Can the other person operate volume in the room for their needs?

The TV sound is not cut out. You can maintain a comfortable listening mode for the person without the head set with the person with the headset maintaining their comfortable listening volume. The Set 840 use radio frequency and not inferred transmission.

The headphones do not affect the TV in any way nor do the headphones affect the TV.

Yes, that's what makes it so wonderful. DH can watch tv anytime at night he wants to, doesn't disturb me a bit. I have the tv on mute, but his headphones are always adjusted to suit his hearing needs. I can control the volume when I'm in the room and his adjustment remains the same. It has allowed him to not get hear aids as the tv was our biggest problem. He had the sound set at 90 on the tv and I just couldn't stand it that high. Now, we're happy as clams. Go for it.

yes both can hear the tv but if the person who is listening to the tv has the sound high the person with the headphones will hear a slight echo

Yes, I listen to a normal volume on the TV while my husband uses the hearing device. It does not cut out the normal sound.

Yes two can watch tv and only one use the device. The sound for the one without the device can be regulated by the remote for the tv

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

Sorry, I only use the TV to watch cable programs and Apple TV. My only issue is the volume is a little low.

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?

Hi Dipesh Shretha, apparently using both optical and headphone out on the same time will not work. As per settings on the TV's External Sound Output Settings, you can only choose 1 between the headphones or on the external speakers (optical) of the TV. Hope this helps. -Ely

I believe you can. I have a slightly different model (not infra red--I'm able to leave the area and still hear thru the headphones). Others watching television with me can use the customary volume setup that exists with the tv. Hope this helps!

Yes, everyone else can still hear the TV at their level of volume, while a person hard of hearing uses the headphones. When my dad, who is completely deaf in one ear and going deaf in the other, wheres these headphones, we're able to have the volume to half the level my dad would need it to hear. There is a separate volume control on the headphones themselves, that the wearer can use to adjust the volume. Also, my dad has the transmitter behind the TV, and still works great.

Yes! This also lets you have a lower signal from the tv, and then amplify it with the control nob, plus up to three other people can listen with headphones too, each with their own control, which is great for video gaming and watching movies when or where there needs to be quiet. Have fun!

There is a volume control on the headset turn that up. You are not suppose to hear the tv when you have them on.

I should have added that I bought an optical splitter for my tv in conjunction with a Bluetooth transmitter, one optical went to a sound bar and the other to the transmitter, thus TV/sound bar sound is independent of Bluetooth which transmits to my Bluetooth headphones, you could do something along that line as well.

The speakers are controlled separately from the TV. The TV volume can be all the way down and the speakers can be as loud as you wish.

Yes, you can still have the TV volume separate, if you use the audio out connections on the back to connect the headphones. Great for use when someone has need for higher volume then rest of viewers.

It is not so much the TV it didn't work on, we both have surround sound with a receiver, so it didn't work on that. If you are watching TV alone, they work. But you are the only one that can hear the TV, so if you are watching a show with family, only you are getting the sound through the earphones. So good for one person watching TV use. Not good for family/friend time watching. We ended up getting my father a pair that microphone sound so he could hear better and the TV wasn't too loud for the rest of us.

Can one have sound from the tv and the headphones at the same time. My husband likes more volume than I do and I am hoping this will work. If not can I wear another set of headphones that will pick up the signal?

yes - you can even mute the TV and the phones can still be heard. They have their own independent audio.

The volume can be set constant, and if low enough you could watch TV with it on. But is also has a function where the volume level increase or decreases based on noice it picks up. So the higher the volume on the TV, the louder the machine would go. You would have to set the volume level as constant. This thing is a big upgrade on our earlier machine, and works really well as it is highly adjustable.

There is a volume control, if your TV has a mini headphone jack you should be able to connect using it.
