How to Use Avantree Headphones with your Smart TV via TV Bluetooth?

Note:
1. TV Bluetooth does not support aptX Low Latency and you might detect slight audio delay via Bluetooth.
2. TV Bluetooth does not normally offer a great operating range. Good quality Bluetooth audio transmitter will support longer operating range.
3. TV Bluetooth normally mute the TV speaker as well as all other TV audio outputs. So for users perfer TV speaker OR soundbar working at the same time, please use external Bluetooth transmitter instead of TV Bluetooth.
