Before Using Bluetooth Headphones

When using Bluetooth headphones, keep note that:

• You can only pair one Bluetooth audio device at a time.

• You can't use Bluetooth devices and the Wi-Fi Speaker Surround Setup feature (also called Surround), or TV SoundConnect simultaneously.

• Compatibility issues may occur, depending on the Bluetooth device. For instance, some Bluetooth headphones are designed for mobile devices exclusively and won't pair with a TV.

• Lip-sync errors may occur.

• The TV and Bluetooth device may disconnect, depending on the distance between them.
