Seacreature101 Posted August 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Odd question here. DH enjoys tv more than I do so we have taken headphones in the past. Great anytime but especially for a mini-suite with the two tv's or if I just want to read in quiet. They did not work on Caribbean Princess on last sailing. I am soon hoping to purchase a new set that comes with wireless bluetooth capability. Do any of you savvy people know if this type headphone will work on the tv's on Royal Princess? I am looking at Avantree HT4189. Help. Please. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted August 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm guessing that they wouldn't work since there's no audio output on the back of the TV to jack into unless they've changed the system since the introduction on the faster internet.

There is a connector thing that is sold separately for about ten bucks. It says it will convert digital to analog. Am I on the right track? Sure appreciate your thoughts.

Potstech Posted September 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Unless you have a way to connect to the TV audio then they will not work. With no audio output jack on the TV how will you get sound to the headphone apparatus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted September 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) There is a connector thing that is sold separately for about ten bucks. It says it will convert digital to analog. Am I on the right track? Sure appreciate your thoughts. Older TVs may have a 'headphone' jack. Newer TVs may have digital audio output (sometimes called TOS or TOSLINK) There are devices which convert TOSLINK to a headphone jack. https://www.amazon.com/Amanka-Digital-Converter-Optical-Headphone/dp/B0732QNCDH/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1535805648&sr=1-4&keywords=toslink+to+headphone+jack You can also get TOSLINK to bluetooth, so you can pair headphones, or a remote speaker. This is a picture from Royal. It's possible that the second connection down (with the rubber cover) is TOSLINK, but I never paid attention. (The arrow is from a previous post, marking the HDMI used by the ship.) Also, depending on your cabin, it may be impossible to reach those inputs. In some of the sideways inside cabins, the TV is in the corner, pushed against the side wall... Edited September 1, 2018 by pablo222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milolii Posted November 6, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hello, I know this is an old thread, but did anyone get this to work? We are on the Sky next year and have a similar situation as Seacreature101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted November 6, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 6, 2019 If someone could verify if the TV's on the Sky have an accessible headphone jack then a basic bluetooth Transmitter can be purchased and plugged in to work your headphones via bluetooth. Have used one here at home. Pair you headphones before you leave then just instal and enjoy. USB rechargeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milolii Posted November 6, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Right , that would be helpful. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Plow Posted November 7, 2019 #12 Share Posted November 7, 2019 The new LG TV's on the Golden Princess allowed Bluetooth connections directly. I was able to connect both headphones and a portable speaker to the TV without any wires or adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notentirelynormal Posted November 7, 2019 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Does anyone know if the TVs on the Pacific Princess have the input connections for a DVD player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I have read, the Pacific Princess hasn't switched over to the on demand TV system yet so there's a good possibility their still have the older TV's which have the easily accessible HDMI inputs. We've never had any problems using the aux HDMI inputs with the old system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notentirelynormal Posted November 11, 2019 #16 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks. I will bring the cables in the hope I can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
