Hi all,

 

I have a Panasonic Viera 65DX900 TV (bought last year) and want to send the audio from it to my BT headphones. Should be straightforward, no?

 

 

However, the TV never shows any devices in the "Devices" screen of the "Bluetooth Setup" menu. OTOH, my phone *does* show the TV on its list of discovered BT devices, and I can pair to it. So I suspect the TV can see my phone, and probably my headphones as well, although there's no way of knowing for sure. And of course no way to tell the TV to send audio out to the headphones via BT.

 

 

Is there some setting somewhere that I need to turn on to enable BT audio output? Or does the TV only use BT to talk to the the touchscreen controller (which is at the back of some drawer someplace)? Suspiciously, my scenario, which seems to me to be a fairly commonplace use case, is not mentioned in the user manual at all.

 

 

The TV doesn't have a 3.5mm audio out socket, so I can't bypass this whole issue by using an analog-to-BT device. :( The only audio output connectors seem to be optical digital or HDMI, for connection to sound bar or HT audio.

 

 

So... anyone got a Panasonic Viera xxDX900 and getting the audio out of it, either BT or analog 3.5mm, successfully?
