To connect the Sony TMR-RF985R stereo transmitter to your Samsung television, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate the audio output ports on your Samsung television. These are typically labeled as "Audio Out" or "Headphone Out." The Sony TMR-RF985R transmitter requires an audio output connection from the TV to work.

2. Once you've located the audio output ports, use the appropriate cable to connect the audio output of your television to the audio input of the Sony TMR-RF985R transmitter. This cable might be a 3.5mm stereo audio cable or a digital optical cable, depending on the available outputs on your TV and inputs on the transmitter.

3. Make sure the power adapter for the Sony TMR-RF985R transmitter is plugged into a power outlet and that the transmitter itself has power.

4. Turn on your Sony TMR-RF985R transmitter and put it in pairing mode if necessary. Refer to the transmitter's manual to understand how to do this.

5. Turn on your Sony wireless headphones and set them to the same channel as the transmitter.

6. Once everything is connected and configured, you should be able to hear the sound from your Samsung television through the Sony wireless headphones.

There are two main ways to connect the Sony TMR-RF985R stereo transmitter to your Samsung TV:

1. Using the optical audio output:

This is the preferred method if your TV has an optical audio output port.

Here's how to do it:

Connect one end of an optical audio cable (not included) to the OPTICAL OUT jack on the transmitter.

Connect the other end of the cable to the OPTICAL IN jack on your TV.

Turn on the transmitter and your TV.

Select the "Optical" or "SPDIF" input on your TV.

The sound from your TV should now be transmitted to your headphones.

2. Using the analog audio outputs:

If your TV doesn't have an optical audio output, you can use the analog audio outputs (RCA jacks) instead.

Connect the other ends of the cable to the corresponding L/R AUDIO IN jacks on your TV.

Turn on the transmitter and your TV.

Select the "Aux" or "Line In" input on your TV.

The sound from your TV should now be transmitted to your headphones.

Additional tips:

Make sure the volume on both the transmitter and your TV is turned up.

If you're having trouble getting sound, try checking the connections or using a different cable.

You can also adjust the balance and headphone volume using the controls on the transmitter.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
