Can't connect wireless stereo to sylvania 6620LF4

I am trying to connect a Sony wireless headphone system to my Sylvania 6620LF4 TV. The only way the headphone will work is if I plug it into the headphone jack on the TV, but then that cuts out the sound from the TV speakers..Any suggestions on how to hook this up?

    The Sony system is a MDR-RF970RK.

    Thanks for the quick response.

Hi, Ok, I now understand what the problem is. Sorry I missed the fact that it is due to no audio outputs on the TV. The audio board is designed to power low impedance speakers and doesn't have a big power amp to drive them. I do not have a schematic of that particular TV so I do not know how the headphone jack is wired. The way it basically works is, when you insert the plug, the tip pushes a contact away from another contact thus making one circuit and breaking another. You can test this externally by inserting an unwired plug or look at it from the inside and bridge the tip connection. I would only advise this if you have some technical skills. Other than that the thing is working like it was designed, they don't want you to use both. Sorry, I hate to give this type of news, but I am one of the only ones who will. Good Luck to you!

You can hook this particular unit up to your stereo reciever if available. if i am not mistaken the original design purpose of these headphones were to be powered through a stereo reciever, at least it is a sure fire way of keeping your tv's sound in tact and using the headphones when needed. most receivers have a speaker a and speaker b configuration if you attach the lead from the headphone unit to the opposing speaker input then you can have the functions you desire and the performance you have indicated. hopes this fixya.
Best regards
Ryan

How do you listen to TV with Sylvania headphones? It has a Scan and Reset and a Hr Off switch?

To answer a question like this we would need FULL 'make and model' of the Sylvania headphones and full 'make and model' of the television. The reason being that we need to check how they are supposed to connect to each other. In the old days, it was a 1/4" wired plug in a socket, but now connection is via Bluetooth direct, or Bluetooth transmitters connected to the television.

Sylvania wireless headphones


Instructions
1
Set up the transmitter. Wireless headphones rely on a transmitter that sends audio via infrared or radio waves to your headset. Use the digital audio output (coaxial or optical), RCA outputs (red and white) or headphone jack on your TV to connect the transmitter. The connection will depend upon which outputs are available on your TV and/or the transmitter.
2
Use an RCA-to-headphone adapter. If you don't have a headphone jack on your TV and the transmitter includes only a headphone connection, connect an RCA-to-female headphone connector. This will allow you to plug the wireless transmitter into the female headphone end and then hook the RCA ends into your television's audio outputs. You may also need a 3.5 mm (mini jack)-to-1/4-inch adapter if the headphone plug on the transmitter doesn't match the television jack.

3
Set the transmitter on top of, or next to, the television. For infrared transmitters, you'll need a direct path between the headphones and the transmitter. Placing the transmitter on or near the TV will allow you to take advantage of the clear path you already have.
4
Plug in the transmitter and turn it on. Charge the headphones if necessary.
5
Turn on the headphones. Adjust the volume and settings and you're ready to watch TV.

I would like to hook up wireless headphones to a 1999 Sylvania 26-inch tv. It does not have headphone jacks, so I have to use the RC plugs in back. How can I cut the sound to the television speakers while...

The RCA jacks (Red and White) usually have full-level output and are not affected by the volume control. (Without those you can buy an adaptor for a 1/8" stereo jack to RCA females and plug the RCA males there--that may be volume controlled or not or both.) The RCAs are meant for an audio system that would control the volume but should work fine with a headset that has its own control. -Ken

You'll need an Audio Out connection on the tv for surround to work properly. The signal level and the impedence mismatch of a headphones jack would not work or work poorly.
