A:AnswerHi Ski,
Yes, you can certainly use the BRAVIA Theater U Wearable with a TV that does not have built-in Bluetooth. You have two primary ways to make this connection:
1. Wired Connection (Included) The BRAVIA Theater U Wearable comes supplied with an audio cable. You can connect this cable directly from the headphone jack (3.5mm) of your TV to the wearable speaker for an immediate wired setup.
2. Wireless Conversion (Optional Transmitter) If you prefer a wireless experience, you can "convert" your TV to Bluetooth by using the Sony WLA-NS7 Wireless Transmitter. This device connects to your TV’s Optical digital output. It then transmits the audio signal wirelessly via Bluetooth to your BRAVIA Theater U Wearable.
We hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for considering Sony!
Regards,
Dominick
A:AnswerHello Abfred,
Thank you for considering Sony products!
We appreciate your inquiry and are happy to assist. The HT-AN7 supports multipoint connectivity, allowing it to pair with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. This feature lets you switch between devices without needing to reconnect each time. However, please note that while the HT-AN7 can maintain connections with two devices, it can only play audio from one device at a time. Therefore, you can connect the neckband speaker to two separate TVs and use it with each individually, but not simultaneously.
For more detailed information about multipoint connection, please visit: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/7861/v1/en/contents/TP1001326155.html
Best regards,

A:AnswerHello MAC,
Thank you for your interest in Sony products!
We appreciate your inquiry and are happy to assist. The Sony HT-AN7 BRAVIA Theatre U neckband speaker is primarily designed for personal audio listening and does not transmit sound through the TV’s built-in speakers. When connected via Bluetooth, audio is routed exclusively to the neckband speaker, providing an immersive experience for the user without affecting the room’s ambient sound.
If you would like audio to play simultaneously through both the neckband speaker and your TV speakers, please note this may require adjusting your TV’s audio settings. However, this functionality is dependent on your specific TV model and may not be supported universally. For detailed guidance, please consult your TV’s user manual or contact Sony Support for further assistance at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
Best regards,
-Fred
A:AnswerI do not think so. When the Bravia U connects to your TV it becomes THE output. When I connect it my Klipsch soundbar or my TV speakers disengage.

A:AnswerHi Jak,
We’re truly sorry for the issues you’re encountering with our product. We're here to help.
To get started, please follow these steps:
Press and hold the power/Bluetooth button on the unit for about 2 seconds until you hear a notification sound. The power will turn on, and the unit will enter pairing mode. You should see that the indicator will flash twice in blue.
If the HT-AN7 already has pairing information for other devices, ensure it is powered off.
Press and hold the power/Bluetooth button for about 5 seconds until you hear a notification sound, and the voice guidance says "Pairing." The indicator will flash twice in blue.
Once the HT-AN7 is in pairing mode, go to the Bluetooth settings on the device you want to connect. Select "HT-AN7" from the list of available devices.
After the pairing is successful, you will hear a notification sound from the unit, and the power/Bluetooth indicator will flash blue.

A:AnswerHi Curious, Thank you for your inquiry! The HTAN7 is designed to work with TV's that have Bluetooth paring capabilities. if you are using it with a gaming device like PS5 then you can connect using analog cable to the controller.
Although it is possible, we highly recommend using Bluetooth to connect the HTAN7 to your TV.

A:AnswerWife who has ear problems can’t wear headphones for long but since she uses this now she will never go back to ear buds/headsets. Amazing device. She claims the sound is so much better
A:AnswerHi Jeff495, Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, you are correct. To experience the full 360 Reality Audio on your Sony A90J TV, you will need the WLANS7 wireless transmitter to connect to your HT-AN7 sound system. The WLANS7 is designed to enhance the 360 Reality Audio experience by providing a more immersive sound field. Without the WLANS7, you may not be able to fully utilize the 360 Reality Audio capabilities of your HT-AN7 with your Sony A90J TV.

Carl
A:AnswerHi Dave, Thank you so much for your inquiry! The HTAN7 pairs to TVs using Bluetooth A2DP (advanced audio distribution profile) and the ability to allow both the TV speakers and Bluetooth audio system will depend on the TV. For this feature, please check with the TV manufacturer if your TV allows both the TV speakers and external Bluetooth audio system at the same time.
