Hi. The headset is wireless so there isn't a place where you can plug your own headphones in.

Can you plug in your own headphones? is every movie AD? or do you have to go at certain times?

Hi,

I think you can hear either the sound track or the audio description through the headphones, but not both at once, so you need to have one ear enclosed in the headphones, and one open. It is worth doing, even though you lose some of the surround-sound stereo experience of the cinema to get the A D. If I'm wrong, and there's a third setting to get the full mix of soundtrack + description, please shout.

Best,
Clive

Hi. I usually ask for a headset. You can't hear the soundtrack of the film through them. You can only hear the AD. You should ask for them as soon as you pay for your tickets.

Subject: [access-uk] Watching audio described films in cinema

Hi all,

Me and my boyfriend would love to go to one of the cinema theaters to watch the latest James Bond film. I know that there are audio described services available across UK and I'm aware how they are done. But I'm not sure how to approach managers in a CenimaWorld and what equipment to request, since on the phone not every operator actually knows what audio discription is and when you can get it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Kseniya Fadeeva
