Go to your TV’s SOUND settings, make sure that the AUDIO OUTPUT has been set to “External Speaker” or “Optical Out”. Some TVs automatically complete this step for you, some don’t.
Since Bluetooth cannot handle Dolby/DTS, you need to go to TV’s SOUND settings, make sure that the DIGITAL AUDIO FORMAT has been set to PCM (or STEREO) If you see DOLBY in the menu, turn it OFF
Ensure that the MIC/AUX/OPT audio input switch on the transmitter has been switched to the “OPT” position.
Now you can stream audio from your TV.

Note: If you don’t know how to change the settings on your TV, or if you cannot hear anything through the headphones after changing the settings, we recommend that you contact your TV manufacturer for support.
If your TV has an AUX/3.5mm Out
Please use the AUX cable to connect your TV to the AUX INPUT port on the transmitter.
Ensure that the MIC/AUX/OPT audio input switch on the transmitter has been switched to the AUX position.
Now you can stream audio from your TV.
If you still can’t hear anything through the headphones, please set the Sound
Out/Speaker setting on your TV to “Wired headphones” or “Headset”.

If your TV has Red/White Audio Out (RCA – only for TV)
Please use the AUX cable & the 3.5mm to RCA Audio adapter (both provided in the package) to connect your TV to the AUX input port on the transmitter.
Ensure that the MIC/AUX/OPT audio input switch on the transmitter has been switched to the AUX position.
Now you can stream audio from your TV.
If you still can’t hear anything through the headphones, please set the Sound Out/Speaker setting on your TV to “External Speaker”; ensure that you’re using the Red/White ports labeled “ AUDIO OUT ”, other Red/White ports will NOT work.

If your TV has Red/White Audio Out (RCA – only for TV)
Please use the AUX cable & the 3.5mm to RCA Audio adapter (both provided in the package) to connect your TV to the AUX input port on the transmitter.

Simply place the external microphone near your TV speaker, plug the other end of the external microphone into the MIC input port on the transmitter.
Ensure that the MIC/AUX/OPT audio input switch on the transmitter has been switched to MIC position.
Now you can stream audio from your TV.

If your Receiver has a 6.35mm phone jack in the front

Ensure that the MIC/AUX/OPT audio input switch on the transmitter has been switched to the AUX position.
Please do NOT use the RED/WHITE ports on the back of your AV receiver, they may permanently damage the transmitter. Please ONLY use the BIG 6.35MM PHONE OUT on the front of your AV Receiver with the 6.35mm to 3.5mm adapter. Plug any wired headphones into the converter plug, lower the volume on the Receiver for safety, and test to see if there is any audio from your headphones. Lowering the volume beforehand is a safety measure to prevent damage to your ears.

Simultaneous Sound from Headphones AND a Soundbar

The unique “Bypass” feature allows the transmitter and your soundbar to share the same optical or headphone port on the TV and have audio played through BOTH the soundbar and the Bluetooth headphones at the same time. Please make sure that you use the same type of input/output, e.g.

If you’re using the OPTICAL cable with TV, please use an OPTICAL cable to connect to the sound system.
If you’re using the AUX/RCA cable to connect to the TV, please use an AUX/RCA cable to connect to the sound system. When you turn off the transmitter, you’ll still be able to hear the audio from your sound system, no need to unplug and plug anything. When you only want to hear audio from your Bluetooth headphones, simply turn off your sound system.
