Bluetooth headphones and KD-55AF8

After pairing my new 'phones (WH-1000XM3) with TV I lost sound from TV speakers. In settings found an option to have sound to TV and bluetooth device. Turned this on but have now lost sound to the headphones. Is there a way round this as I need sound to both?

Press the HOME button, then select [Settings] — [Sound] — [Audio to both TV speakers & other device]

Thank you for the quick reply but for some reason that doesn't work. I have checked that my TV supports A2DP. Could it be that the headphones aren't compatible or am I doing something stupid?

Try to reboot Android TV keeping pressed Power/OFF on remote and then try again...

Thanks for your help. Actually found the "fault" by accident. it seems it's not enough to pair TV and 'phones. Every time you want to use bluetooth you have to go in to settings, find the headphones from the list of paired items and click "connect". You have to do this every time you turn 'phones on. So perhaps it was me being stupid!
