TV won't connect to Bluetooth headphones
Bluetooth headphones won't connect to your TV if they're already connected to another device, if Bluetooth isn't enabled on the TV, or if they're out of range. Start by unplugging the headphones, enabling Bluetooth on the TV, and putting the headphones in pairing mode.
Bluetooth headphones connect wirelessly to your TV. They have to be close enough to the TV, Bluetooth has to be enabled on the TV, and the headphones have to be in pairing mode (not already connected to another device like your phone).
- ✓Have your Bluetooth headphones charged and ready
- ✓Have your TV remote handy
- ✓Know how to put your headphones into pairing mode (check the headphone manual)

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Forgetting to disconnect the headphones from your phone first. Bluetooth can only connect to one device at a time.
- Not putting the headphones into pairing mode. They won't show up in the TV's scan without it.
- Giving up too soon. Bluetooth scanning can take 30-60 seconds to find devices.
