For this connection option, a special Bluetooth adapter is required. With it, the sound received from the game console will be transmitted to the headset.
Play Station connects to the TV with an HDMI cable. This wire transmits audio and video signals. The receiver also connects to the TV receiver, receives an audio signal from it and transmits it to the headset.
ATTENTION! Before making this connection option, you need to check the presence of all the necessary sockets on the TV. In their absence, you will need to purchase the appropriate wires.
Step-by-step connection of Bluetooth headphones:
- The adapter should be connected to the TV.
- Then perform the pairing procedure of the connected products. This is done by pressing and holding the power button on the device. Typically, the retention time is about 10 seconds.
- Next, turn on the headset. If all the previous steps were performed correctly, then the connected devices will detect each other, and the headset will begin to broadcast sound.
ATTENTION! Some models of TV receivers are able to find headphones automatically. If this does not happen, you will need to make the necessary settings manually. To do this, go to the settings menu and make the input to which the receiver is connected active.
When the correct output is activated, the headset will start playing the audio signal.
