I currently have a working Sennheiser Flex 5000 (TV ears type) connected to one of the rca type audio outputs on my 10 yr old Panasonic Plasma TV. The Sennheiser transmitter also has a digital optical input (PCM only) for the audio. Would I get better audio using the digital input?
I do not have digital optical port on the old Plasma TV but have it connected by HDMI to a Yamaha RX-V677 AV Receiver. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to get the digital audio signal to the Flex 5000 unit??
I am using HDMI cables to connect everything...starting with the Set Top Box to the AVR to the Blu-Ray to the Plasma TV but even though I get the optical red signal in the Toslink cable, I get no sound on the headset. Even tried the optical out from the STB directly to the Flex 5000, but still no audio!
I am hoping that someone may be able to give me another way to fix this or maybe it is too much trouble for so little a gain in the audio response?
Thanks for reading all this.
