User questions & answers

Question:	When i use the optical cord, the sound from the earphones is delayed by about 1/2 second compared to the sound for the tv. is there a fix
Answer:	I've found that some TV's (such as Samsung) allow you to adjust for audio delays in the Expert Audio settings.
Question:	Will i stil hear outside noise (neighbors kids, motorcycles etc.) while wearing these to listen to tv
Answer:	These are not noise cancelling headphones, but you should find that when you are wearing them, it is a lot easier to concentrate on the tv sound.
Question:	can one person wear headset while the other person just listens to tv
Answer:	Yes. Further clarification is that you don't have to put the TV on "mute" which means you don't have to see the mute icon. You simply turn down the TV speakers volume to whatever level you want for ambient sound (or zero). That's because the audio signal input to the TV ears is a discrete audio signal or source. Keep in mind, also, that the signal from the transmitter to your TV ears is "line of sight" so if, for example, you hold up a book to read you're very likely to hear static interference.
Question:	is there a way to hook these up to the phone
Answer:	it has a headset connection so it should be able to do that

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: My TV speakers go silent (become muted) when I use the Avantree 2.4G wireless TV headphones HT280. Can I make them work simultaneously while using the transmitter?

A: This is a TV feature and its availability depends on your TV make and model.

For many models of TV, the built-in speakers might not work if you choose to use an external speaker. They will either automatically mute when you plug something into an audio output port (AUX, RCA, Optical, etc.) or they become disabled once you choose "External Speakers" as your TV's audio output. Some newer TVs however, allow you to play audio from both the TV's internal speakers and an external audio device simultaneously. For example the newer LG TVs with WebOS versions 3.0 and 3.5 have this feature but Samsung TVs still do not. In the LG TV WebOS 3.0 / 3.5 example, you can enable this feature by changing the TV AUDIO OUT setting from "Internal TV Speaker" to “Internal TV Speaker + Optical”. Now all audio will simultaneously come from both your TV's speakers and the device connected to the digital optical audio output port.

If your TV does not support this feature, then you can consider the Avantree HT5009 / HT5006 and an external speaker. The Avantree Oasis Plus transmitter has a convenient bypass feature which allows you to share the TV audio simultaneously with an EXTERNAL SPEAKER and a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
