Question Bluetooth Transmitter

[Jerry Myrick]

I bought a Bluetooth transmitter for my Panasonic TV. I thought it wasn't working at all at first. All I got was some clicking noise when the TV is set to "input TV". But I discovered all the other inputs, which happen to be HDMI work just fine. The only audio output on the TV is optical. I can't find any setting for audio on the TV that makes it work. I've tried everything, I think. Help!!!

What are you trying to accomplish? Is it for audio or video?

Audio/headphones . Like I said, it works fine on all inputs except TV.

What model is the transmitter?

Bought off Amazon. No real brand name and no support number to call. Box says Wireless Audio Transmitter & Receiver Optical Support Low Latency “ UPC X002MKQ6K5

Do you have a device with optical audio like a soundbar to test to make sure the optical out works on the TV when using the TV input in general? TV input you are using the antenna correct?

as much as I'd like to be able to help I don't think I know enough about your setup here. How do you have the transmitter set up? What method is the TV using to send audio to the transmitter, and what method are you using to receive signal from the transmitter? Wireless headphones?

Optical audio out to transmitter. Wireless headphones. Works fine on all outputs except TV. No soundbar to test.

My guess is that the TV output doesn't support optical out. Only way to test is to use another device with optical.

My guess is it has something to do with the TV input ... that is the fact that I don't do cable, it's strictly over the air antenna. Time to buy a new TV.
Thanks for all your help!!!

Yeah, depending on audio format, the TV may not even be outputting to optical. Optical is normally used for surround setups, and airwaves TV signals are either mono or stereo at best.
