Hello,
I have a Yamaha RX-V371 receiver (manual) that currently connected to receive input from my cable provider (HDMI2 input) and HDMI from my Blu-ray/DVD player (HDMI1 input). The HDMI OUT of my receiver is connected to my Panasonic TC-P50S60 TV (manual). Both my receiver and TV are capable of HDMI ARC.
BD/DVD ------------------------------------------------> RX-V371 (HDMI1 IN)
Cable ----------------------------------------------------> RX-V371 (HDMI2 IN)
RX-V371 (HDMI OUT ARC capable) -----------> TV (ARC capable)
RX-V371 (SPK OUT) --------------------------------> Speakers
A family member of mine is hard of hearing and requires the receiver to have the speaker volume very high, which is too loud for the rest of us. To get around this, I would like to connect a wireless headset so that they can adjust the volume as they please while we can listen via the speakers unaffected. The wireless headsets that I have require analog RCA input so I need to somehow extract audio from my receiver.
As a first measure, I purchased this HDMI audio extractor and placed it in series with the HDMI OUT (ARC) of the receiver and HDMI of the TV. Unfortunately, this did not seem to work. I tried to change the receivers audio from 5 channel to 2 channel, toggle ARC on and off, but to no avail. Only now did I realize that the TV might have had ARC enabled which could have messed this up.
As a second attempt, I purchased this lineout converter and connected it in parallel with the front L/R speakers. I was able to hear audio through my wireless headsets but it was not loud enough at max volume and there was a terrible mains hum.
I think the first method (HDMI audio extractor) might work, but I can't seem to configure the receiver or TV properly to get audio and video sent to the TV unidirectionally and extract the HDMI audio. Since all of my audio/video content is coming from devices that pass to the receiver and not from the TV, I believe ARC should be disabled for this to work.
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Thank you
