Need wireless solution for headphones LG Tv NO Bluetooth

dharma200

Hi Everyone,

So doing an install of an art video work somewhere. The venue provided the TV which is:
LG 43LK5900PLA 43" Smart HDR LED TV

The work needs to be heard through headphones. I presumed the TV was bluetooth enabled. It isnt. So rushed to harvey norman where the helpful person sold me this: https://www.harveynorman.ie/tvs-headphones/tv-and-audio-accessories/tv-cables/logitech-bluetooth-audio-receiver.html


Of course this doesnt work.

I am now paniced and was looking at https://www.harveynorman.ie/tvs-headphones/tv-and-audio-accessories/tv-cables/one-for-all-bluetooth-tv-audio-transmitter-sv1770.html


However am I right in thinking the TV doesnt have the needed jacks in the back? (Tv is in location I am not, so have to go by specs online) Any help appreciated. How can I get this tv to either - send bluetooth to my bluetooth headsets, or will I have to buy dedicate wireless headset and if so which ones will work with the in/out options? There is no wifi either in space...

Mucho thanks in advance. Like its a smart tv why wouldnt it have bluetooth....... FML

So he sold you a receiver when you need a transmitter (take SPDIF/TosLink (fiber optic) or Analog audio from the TV and transmit to Bluetooth from your description).
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06WD8Z21S/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , can be switched to either transmit or receive, I've used it for transmit with zero issues. The TV you listed has SPDIF so that'd be the best way to connect it, failing that standard stereo phono-cables will also work. The item recommended includes a cable for each so you're set.

EDIT: Only mentioning it since it might be important for your work but is related to your comment on why a modern TV wouldn't include bluetooth. Unless your transmitter and phones support AptX low latency there will be noticeable lag (about .5 seconds) between video and audio. It can be really annoying for lipsync to dialog for example. So I presume TV manufacturers, even if they do pony up for a higher quality transmitter, do not want to get into trying to support compatibility between their TV and your phones. Better to not include it and let users get (and support) their own solution. That's why higher end wireless phones intended for the movie market don't use bluetooth at all. The transmitter above does support it btw, just make sure your phones do aswell if latency will be an issue for the work.
