Dearest Audiophiles, I need your expert advice on some Clarion WH100 wireless headphones I recently purchased for use with a portable dvd player for my backseat-dwellling-kids.
Please keep in mind I have no idea what I'm doing.
The earphone set I purchased has an IR transmitter that's designed to be hardwired into the car. Since I didn't want to to that, I wired it to a 12v cigarette lighter adapter from Radio Shack. That part of this adventure seems to be OK.
Then, I realized the IR transmitter had two female audio plugs, and so does my DVD player. So, I found a cord that has two male plugs on one end, coupled it with IR transmitter, then plugged the single male end of that same cord into the headphone jack on the side of the DVD player.
Believe it or not, it works and I can hear the audio from the DVD on both sets of headphones.
However, my problem is this: I'm getting what seems to be engine noise interferenece in the headphones. It's the same pitch as the engine, and I think (but haven't had the time to confirm) that the noise shifts in pitch when the engine shifts/revs.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the static?
I'm totally out of my league, but know youse guys know what you're talking about. I'm just a Mom trying to keep her kids happy on that long trek to Nana's house.
Thanks in advance for your help and good humor!
