When using these with RC connectors instead of a headphone jack, can the TV be muted so I don't disturb my roommate?

Yes, you can either mute the tv or turn the volume all the way down (that way you dont see the mute symbol) and control the volume on the head phones.
1363451
yes..you can control you're own volume in the headset while the tv is muted.

Yes....it's wonderful. My husband is so deaf.....I am not. These things are saving our marriage! lol!

We turn the volume down all the way instead of pressing the <mute> button. We can still hear through the headphones. This works for us. Hope this helps.

Yes, just turn the tv volume down to nothing and the headphones do all the work. I now have two of these which we use simaltaneously in case one goes to sleep early. You can also understand the words.

No, they are separate. You wife with can adjust the tv speakers to any volume, including mute and you can adjust yours to whatever volume best fits your needs. Neither will interfere with the other.

If the TV is in a different room than the bedroom AND you have a headphone jack on the TV AND get a headphone extension cord, I would say, yes. If the TV is IN the bedroom, I'd say no, as these are not closed up, sound isolating earphones.

I don't think that if you use the Red and White RCA plugs plugged into the Audio output jacks of the cable/satellite/TV or whatever will disable the main speakers. I think only jacks specifically for Headphones will disable the main speakers. I hope this is along the lines of your inquire.

yes. Just hook up on the audio output of the tv. My wife doesn't like it loud so she turns the tv down too low for me. That's ok, I have a better sound than she does anyway with the headphones.

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.

I had not used that option but have now tested. Headphones work fine and the output to the RCA jacks is not interrupted when the 3.5 mm jack is in use. Something to keep in mind -- there is no volume control on the decoder. The SPDIF output from the TV is probably not controlled either. Unless your headphone has an integrated volume control the result may be uncomfortable. I checked off air vs. DVD on my TV. Off air came out with a moderate volume on my headphones where as DVD was pretty loud during some passages. Depending on your personal preferences it is possible that some audio could actually be too low in volume. I had not used that option but have now tested.

yes, you can still hear the tv - that is why i didn't like the product, got this for my grandddaughter at college thinking it would block out speakers so it didn't bother her roommate and it didn't.

yes, actually I prefer my TV volume will be off otherwise create double sounds, and yes the headphones produce great sounds.I'm satisfied with my purchased! I hope this answer will help!

Yes there is. In the back of the tv there is an "audio out" where you connect your headphones. Press the mute button on your remote control so others cannot hear and you have headphone use.
129765
Yes, you can hear either. You just have to mute the TV speakers if you don't want to hear them.

The Set 830-S connects directly into the audio-out and therefore does not allow for ambient environmental sounds. The audio from the television is transmitted directly to your receiver/headset.

BEatlefanI am driving a pair or Polk T15 Bookshelf Speakers that sit on my desk. They get quite loud yet still remain quite clean :)) . If your TV has RCA outs should be no problem

You should be able to plug in a pair of headphones into the TV and be able to hear fine. If plugged in all the way, there should be no "noise" coming out of the Television itself. We currently have normal speakers plugged into ours and no sound comes out of the TV speakers, only the speakers plugged in.

IMO NO not at all. I have these and I love them for watching TV and music but if you just want to block out surrounding noise, these will not work. I'm very noise sensitive :(

if your tv has a cord for headphone like a labtop yes but you have two cords one long and the other short its going to be hard mot to disturb your husband because they are really loud .
