Q: If someone is using the headphones can the other people in the room be listening to the tv through its normal speakers?

A: Usually, when the Headphone is connected, the TV Speakers are disabled. Check if the TV has the option to output the sound through its Speakers when a Headphone is connected.

Q: Can I purchase just the headphones and will two headphones work with one transmitter?

A: Yes, you can connect and use an unlimited amount of headphones to one TMR-RF985R transmitter.

Q: What is the difference between TMR-RF985R and MDR-RF985R and do they use the same ear pads

A: Hi Ed, the TMR-RF985R is the wireless transmitter of the MDR-RF985RK. The only headphone between the two is the MDR-RF985RK. Those two are bundled together when purchased. Thanks, -Mark

Q: headphones work for 3-5 minutes and then go dead

A: Hello friend, it sounds like your rechargeable batteries are faulty. I would try replacing those batteries and trying new ones. Your headphones should be working for more than 3-5 minutes. If you put new batteries into your headphones and your problem persist, it has to be the headphones themselves. I would get them replaced. Hope this helps.

Q: do i plug into my TV or cable box ?

A: you should be able to do both. But you should always go with the main source where you control volume. That would be your TV.

Q: How do I eliminate the constant, loud hum from the headphones?

A: I also gave an LG i hooked up to the regular headphone plug behind tv, doesn't say headphones but has same plug as if you were going to plug in regular head phones, than when everything is hooked up, go to settings or apps depending on your tv, than go to audio than change from tv speakers to headphones, than u have to set the volume on your headphones on high, than you control volume by adjusting volume on tv with control and don't touch volume on headphone anymore, i also have a samsung, which works different with them, i also plug in to same jack on tv, but on this set, i can lower volume on tv, and adjust only on headphones, i guess all tv's work a little different, hope this helps, also on the LG, the headphone will turn on only when u select headphones at settings...

Q: Can the transmitter function as a headphone charger?

A: Yes, To recharge the headphone battery after use, place the headphones on the transmitter after use. The CHG indicator lights up, then charging starts. When charging is complete, there is no need to remove the headphones from the transmitter. * When the transmitter's contact pins meet the headphones' contact points, the CHG indicator lights up red. If they do not meet, the indicator will not light up. Confirm that the headphones make a “click” sound when you put them on the transmitter. When the headphones are correctly placed on the transmitter, the upper surface of the headphones becomes level with the transmitter.
