Headphone Compatability

Can headphones and TV's have a compatibility problem? I have a Logik TV/DVD combo. I connected a set of wireless headphones to it, in the earphone socket. I kept having to press 'scan' on the headphones before I could hear anything. After getting sound for about 10-15mins, the sound just goes. There is an LED on the headphone transmitter, which is green when the headphones are charging, and red when the headphones are in use. I noticed that there is no green light when the sound goes. You would think that the headphones are faulty, except when I try them on my pc or media player, they work fine. Back to the tv. When I use ordinary earphones/headphones, there is no problem (apart from having a trailing cable from the tv). The headphones by the way, were bought from Aldi, and I've had a similar pair for years, and they don't work with the tv either. This has got me stumped. Is there a solution?

Where does the headphone transmitter get its power from?

What way are they "wireless" - are they bluetooth, infra-red, or what?

I'm assuming they're infrared, certainly not blue tooth. The base unit is plugged into the mains, and shows a green light when the headphones are on charge, so it must be working. When plugged into my media player, I can go down to the bottom of the garden, and still get a signal. It's just plugged into the tv I have problems.

If it works to the bottom of the garden, then it's probably not infra-red.

A possibility would be interference from the DVD player.
Can you move the transmitter somewhere further from the TV?

Moved it away from the dvd player end of the tv, and still not working properly.
