A:Answer No, the source must be a Bluetooth transmitter. Very few TV's transmit a Bluetooth signal - I believe a few of the newer Samsung's do. Most likely you will need to purchase a Bluetooth transmitter for your TV (cost is about $30). Alternatively, if you just want these headphones for TV then purchase the Sony headphones that are made for that purpose. These do not use Bluetooth but rather a straight up RF signal. Cost for those is around $110. Some Sony sound bars and receivers are made to work with Bluetooth headphones so if you run the sound through one of those devices the Bluetooth headphones will work just fine.
