first post here. i've been trying to find a two head-set solution for watching tv and using pc through the tv for around $100. after a bunch of searching, i got it in my head that the Clarion WH204 Dual Channel Infrared Headphones (for automobiles) would work at home. i figured that the tv and pc would emit infrared signals and i wouldn't need the transmitter.
well, i think i really dropped the ball on this one.
this headset requires a 12V power supply and the transmitter doesn't plug into the wall or anything. my knowledge of electronics and all things electric is next to none. i bought these after reading a review on amazon where a guy claimed to be using this model at home; he stated that he was able to do this because, well, here's the review
This is a convenient way to obtain a pair of infrared headphones for use in a home which already has AC powered infrared projectors attached to television sets...
I did not install the provided unit in my automobile and am thus unable to comment on its utility...The two headphones which I purchased work perfectly well in my home..
knowing nothing about infrared projectors or the implications of AC versus DC power, i went ahead and ordered these things.
anyway, they're back in the box now. i just thought i'd mention it to see if anyone here might have a solution before i lose another $40. sending these back.
incidentally, i have no reason to use these in my car.
any advice would be Greatly appreciated. i still have a glimmer of hope left in me that i might be able to keep these...they are very comfortable and nice.
thank you in advance.
