Can Watching TV and Listening to Music Be Done Simultaneously?

Yes, you can listen to music and watch TV at the same time. There are two ways to achieve this.

The first way is to use your AV receiver’s built-in functionality. Many modern AV receivers come with a feature called HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). This allows the TV audio signal to be sent directly to the receiver and then back out to the speakers. With this setup, you can easily switch between watching TV and listening to music while keeping the same source connected at all times.

The second way is by using a HDMI splitter. A HDMI splitter allows you to split the signal from one source into two different outputs, one for video and one for audio. This allows you to connect both a TV and a stereo system or soundbar simultaneously so you can watch TV while listening to music from an external source without having to switch inputs on your receiver or even turn it on.

Conclusion

In conclusion, AirPods offer unbeatable convenience and portability for audio and video streaming. They are compatible with a wide range of Apple products, and their Bluetooth connectivity allows them to connect to other devices as well. With the ability to pair with multiple speakers or headphones as needed, AirPods provide an ideal solution for listening privately or sharing audio content with friends. Additionally, their long battery life ensures you can keep listening without interruption.
