If I plug this into my sony TV and pair it with my blue tooth speaker will it mute my TV or will I have sound from both the TV and speaker.

It depends on your TV. Best way to tell is to plug in a regular wired headphones, if this muted your TV speakers then so will this BT transmitter.

I set the audio out in setup to 'Fixed" making the audio constant to the Bluetooth. In my case that isn't a problem since I use it with Bluetooth headsets. Without setting the audio to fixed, it mutes when the sound is muted. The sound must be muted in order to not have both on at the same time because the audio to the Bluetooth has a slight delay. To adjust the volume to the headset, I use the volume on the headset as the speaker volume has no effect.

I have used wireless headphones and this Sony unit and they connect the same. I have not used it on a Sony theater system but if you have a digital audio output the speakers still work with my flat screen, but this is not necessarily true if you use the headphone jack for the Sony Bluetooth unit. I tried it on two different TV's one would turn on in mute mode but the speakers still worked and the other the speakers would not work if the Sony was in the headphone jack.Good Luck.

I assume that when you plug in some headphones into that analog/headphone jack, the TV's speakers go mute automatically; so when you plug in a pair of special RCA cables that have RCA on one end of which you plug into your AMP and that mini pin on the other end of which you would plug into the TV's headphone jack, the same thing will happen, i.e. muted TV speakers. But instead of having headphones, you will have amplified speakers. Then you could set your AMP's volume level to something rather high, and control the volume of the TV through the TV itself using its remote.

Hello Al,Thank you for your inquiry.The HiDEF Wireless Bluetooth TV Sound Bar Speaker System is designed with a 3.5mm audio input and RCA inputs to connect to a TV. If your TV has a 3.5mm audio out connection (a headphone jack) or has RCA audio out you will be able to connect it to your TV.You are also able to connect to this speaker system with a Bluetooth connection (the speaker uses the A2DP Bluetooth profile). However, we do not recommend this connection with a TV.

You won't notice the delay unless you allow the sound to come out of both the TV speakers and the BT speakers/headphones at the same time. The delay is small and you probably won't notice unless you're being nitpicky. I'm happy connecting to this with a Plantronics Pulsar 260 Bluetooth A2DP headset.

The unit came with a 3.5 mm Jack. If your TV has a recept for this jack plugging into it probably disables the TV speakers. It did on my set.

Sound will go out to this TV Sound System when connected to a Sony TV with ARC if you selected on the TV to be on external speakers. However, you may choose the sound to be output on the TV speakers when you select TV speaker instead of external speaker. This may be applied if you have other devices like cable box to be connected on the HDMI IN on this sound system and you just wanted to have it on the TV speaker system. (Pass through) -Ely

Do you have a cable box? If so, connect the sound bar to your cable box. When you are using the sound bar for your TV put your TV on mute and the sound will come out via the sound bar - That's the instructions tech support gave me and it worked perfect! Good Luck

Mine is connected directly to my receiver and I too keep the speakers on the TV muted.

I don't know that. But, my guess is it needs a tv signal in order to transmit sound. If you can contact Sony, or go to Sony's webpage and check to see FAQ about it, you might find an answer. Better yet, I hope one of the other Amazon purchasers is able to answer this question. I'll be interested in knowing the answer, too.

I think it depends on your TV. My TV is a LG panel ---- and it has only one sound out, so when using this speaker, the TV is silent - the sound output uses an optical cable. We did try to split the sound (using a 'thinga ma job') and when that didn't work gave up trying.

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.

YES! if you hook connections at tv and not cable or satellite box. mute sound with remote and good to go....

No the blue tooth cancels out the TV speakers because you have to plug it in the audio jack on the TV in order to hear the earphones.

If you plug it into your tv, the sound only goes to the headphones. If you plug it into your satellite receiver it plays through your surround sound speakers and head phones

They both play.... So normally both the tv and speaker play... If you mute the tv, it is muted and the speaker still works with normal volume.This speaker is great, I put it on outside deck and watch tv (normally muted) thru the glass windows.

Didn't have a PS3 to test it, but you should be able to connect it with AUX cable and mute the TV. I did a similar thing with my android TV box.
