TV won't connect to Bluetooth headphones
Bluetooth pairing is fussy. The headphones and TV need to be able to see each other and talk to each other clearly. Restart both devices and put them right next to each other, then try pairing again. If that doesn't work, forget the pairing on both sides and start completely fresh.
Bluetooth is a wireless radio connection between your TV and headphones. When they can't connect, it's because they're too far apart, they've forgotten how to talk to each other, or they need a fresh restart. Restarting both devices clears out the connection problems, and putting them next to each other makes it easier for them to find each other.
