Headset not working




By notwise on Sep 30, 2007

" "
A 95 year old lady ask me (not wise to electronics) to hook up a Sennheiser RS 110 headset to her old TV with no A/V in puts.. The person who gave her the headset also gave her a Nexxteck Video RF Modulator.

I plugged the 75 ohm cable from the antenna into the modulator at the ?ANT? and the cable from the ?TO TV? to the TV. Plugged the black and red plugs, from the headset, into the ?L and R AUDIO? jacks of the modulator. Then plugged the power cord in and turned the ?CHANNEL 3/4? switch to 4.

The ?ON? light on the modulator goes on when the switch for the plug in turned on, but goes off right away. The ?ON? light for the headset goes on when I unplug the audio jacks, but will stay on when the jacks are plugged back in.

There was sound from the TV set for two days but now there is no sound from the set, and there was never any sound from the headset. The picture is unaffected.

A modulator is designed for the reverse of what you are trying to use it for.

It is meant to be a local TV transmitter i.e. video and audio source INPUT for the TV.
It converts A/V to a UHF radio signal that the TV can receive.

If the TV has no audio OUTPUTS or headphone jack then headphones cannot be used with this TV.

As for the new problem with the TV, I'd like to think this is co-incidental and not your fault.
The fantastic thing to do would be to go and buy the lady an LCD TV of a the biggest size you can afford. Most have a headphone socket.
