Connecting via TV’s Bluetooth

Connecting via a Bluetooth Transmitter
If your TV does not have Bluetooth, or if you wish to connect two headphones at the same time, you can use a Bluetooth transmitter. This works with wireless headphones that have their own transmitter, and with any TV that offers audio output options like digital optical, AUX or RCA. Plus, you can often pair another set of Bluetooth headphones too! Some setups even let your soundbar or AV receiver work in tandem. Just plug the transmitter into your TV’s audio output port, power up your headphones and transmitter, and enjoy! 🎧 Fantastic!
Connecting to Chromecast with Google TV
This method works only with the newest Chromecast model that comes with Google TV. Get your headphones into Bluetooth pairing mode, go to Google TV’s Home Screen, access the Settings menu, and navigate to ‘Remote and Accessories’. Here, click on ‘Pair Remote or Accessory’, wait for your headphones to appear in the list, select them to connect, and you are all set! 🔥Great job!
