Samsung UE32F5500A Wireless headphone set up?????

[007geezer]

Currently have a Samsung UE32F5500A
wall mounted in our bedroom, trying to connect the wireless headphones
(Sony MDR-RF800R)
to the TV so that the TV speakers still function at same time as im using the headphones, Im the deaf one in the family, but wife needs the normal TV speakers set at a whisper setting just to annoy me.
Tried the Audio out R-Audio-L RCA Audio out jacks at the rear connected to the wireless headphones base station with no joy, no sound at all, any help to sort this out would be greatly appreciated. Would even buy another compatible headset if required if that was the problem?

Those RCA sockets are inputs not outputs.
To use wireless headphones you need an optical digital to analogue audio convertor plugged into the set's optical out.

Thanks for the reply JayCee,
ill certainly look into the optical digital to analogue audio convertor, but am surprised at the "Those RCA sockets are inputs not outputs" as it does clearly say beside these RCA sockets RCA Audio out?????

I have just found that on connecting the wireless headphones base station to the Sky HD box in its "Audio out" connection instead of directly to the TVs audio out. I can get sound whilst watching sky channels, half a result, as I was really wanting the connection to the TV instead so that it would allow me to listen to the Freeserve channels and also a movie on via the USB connection.

I've looked at the online E-Manual for the model no you gave UE32F5500A and it states it has optical audio out, the ARC HDMI audio and the headphone out.
Did you give the correct model no taken from the label on the rear of the set?
Can you upload a picture of the rear connection panel?

Exact details on the rear of TV is UE32F5500AKXXU
Thanks again

Update: will upload picture tomorrow, as lady of the house asleep! Waking a sleeping tigress and all that jazz Gulp!!!

I **think** there's a size limit of around 100K per pic.

Your correct JayCee very low resolution and they uploaded fine, bit grainy but legible

Digital Optical Coaxial Toslink to Analog RCA Audio Converter &
1m HQ Gold TOSlink Digital Optical Cable just purchased in case required.

 

[JayCee]

As stated, those Red/White phono's are the audio IN in conjunction with the 3 component video phono sockets above. The audio out is the optical.
Yes, you do need the convertor, no need to spend a lot on the optical lead, the "Gold" makes absolutely no difference to its performance.

 

[007geezer]

Only £3.75 for the cable, never actually looked at the Gold bit, and £12.00 for the converter, much cheapness! .So hopefully with this set up my headphones will now work from the TV itself....

Now,just have to wait till its delivered...Ill get back and let you know how it turns out, and once again thanks for the help

Just remember you'll need another mains socket for the adaptor's power supply.
Good luck.
