    How do I connect remote headset to old TV and DVD/VCR?
    I have a TV with coax input for "cable" and RCA A/V input only. The "output port" of a combo DVD/VCR is connected to the TV's A/V input. How do I connect "remote earphones" to otain audio from both devices?

    I have added an RF Modulator with an output port but to no avail.

    Have you tried using coax out of DVD/VCR to TV, and use the audio out for wireless.
    A 1 input, 2 output audio/video amp could work.
    Also a Cable(stereo) Converter could work, more expensive.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I tried the first part of your suggestion (on a few occasions)and surpisingly to no avail and will try the cable converter next.

    You want to be sure the converter has audio out, and might as well be Stereo.

    Can you define "remote headphones" What exactly does it require for an input. RCA, 1/8 phone plug. Levels.

    If this is true, then connect the audio directly to your "remote earphones". Don't connect to the TV.

    You may just need an RCA input selector switch to make it work.

    For now, you may have to swap cables.

    Let us know if it works.
