Steps
Turn the TV on and pick up the remote. Put your headphones or speaker within about a metre of the TV and switch them on.
Press the Home button on the remote, then scroll up to the gear icon in the top right corner. Press OK to open Settings.
Choose Remotes & Accessories from the settings list. On some models the entry is called Bluetooth settings instead.
Select Pair remote or accessory. The TV starts scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices.
Put your headphones into pairing mode now. On most models you hold the power or pairing button until the light flashes.
Wait for the headphone name to appear on screen, highlight it and press OK. Confirm any pairing prompt.
Open the TV's sound output setting if audio still comes from the TV speakers, then pick the headphones as the output device.
Play something and check the sound is in the headphones. Adjust volume with the remote as usual.
Tips and common mistakes
Most TVs pair with one Bluetooth audio device at a time, so disconnect the old one first.
Keep the headphones close during pairing, since the scan only finds devices within a few metres.
Turn the headphones off when you finish, or the TV may keep sending sound to them instead of its speakers.
If the device never shows up, switch it off and on again and repeat the pairing step.
Questions
Why can't my TV find my headphones?
The headphones are probably not in pairing mode. Hold the pairing button until the light flashes, then run the scan again on the TV.
Can I use Bluetooth headphones and a soundbar at the same time?
Usually no. The TV sends audio to one Bluetooth output at a time, so pick either the headphones or the soundbar.
Do I need to pair again every time?
No. Once paired, the headphones normally reconnect on their own when you switch them on near the TV.
