Easier way to switch from speakers to headphones?

[SkinnyCyclist]

Hi all!

Most of the time I use a 5.1 speaker setup with my KD-49XF7005 TV and STR-DH790 receiver but late nights when the family is asleep and I need to spend some time with Arthur Morgan (Red Dead Redemption II I use a pair of wireless Sennheiser RS 175 connected to the TV with an optical cable.

The procedure for switching between speakers and headphones below - Is there an easier way? 

- Open the Sync Menu.

- Switch from Audio System (the receiver) speakers to TV speakers.

- Muting the TV speakers.

Thanks.

Hi SkinnyCyclist,

I guess I can suggest two different ways to get a better setup but both will depend on connecting the headphones by a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

1- Connect the headphones to the TV directly, and activate the " Headphone Speaker Link " so that you don't have to mute the TV every time you do the same switch. ( Settings - System Settings - Setup - AV Setup).

2- Connect the headphones to the Amp directly, It should switch the audio directly to the headphones, but I guess you'll have to unplug them after you finish gaming

Hope this helps,
