CONNECT THE TRANSMITTER Connect the transmitter as follows: Transmitter Power Input Jack (J) Step 1 Power the Transmitter DC 12V FREQ. ADJUST 1. Insert the power cord from Transmitter AC Adapter (O) into the Transmitter Power Input Jack (J). 2. Plug the Transmitter AC Adapter (O) into Transmitter AC Adapter (O) any standard wall outlet.
WARNING: DO NOT connect the RCA plugs of the “Y” Cable Adapter to a speaker output on the audio source. If you use the speaker output of an audio source to connect the transmitter, you will permanently damage the transmitter. It is designed to work with RCA-type line/variable outputs or headphone outputs only. Note: For more information on hooking up and using the transmitter with various ouputs, please see MORE HELPFUL INFORMATION beginning on Page 7.
ADJUST THE TRANSMITTER Adjust the transmitter as follows. Step 1 Turn ON your Audio Source (i.e. Stereo Receiver, TV, etc.) so that you can hear sound coming from the source. Step 2 Pivot the Antenna (N) to the upright, vertical position. Step 3 Set the Transmitter “Level” 1. Set the Frequency Control Wheel (M) to its midpoint. 2. Turn the Output Level Control Wheel (K) all the way to the left (your left when looking at the transmitter controls), as shown. 3.
Turn On and Tune the Speakers 1. Use the speaker Power ON-OFF/Volume Control Wheel (D) to turn the speaker “ON.” Tuning Indicator Light (A) will illuminate red. 2. Turn the Tuning Control Wheel (B) until the Tuning Indicator Light changes color to green, indicating the speaker is tuned to the signal from the transmitter. If the audio source is on and operating, you should now hear sound. 3. Adjust volume as desired. 4.
Hint: Fixed-level audio outputs from stereo receivers/amps will typically be designated as Tape, Tape 1, and Tape 2 outputs, DAT (digital audio tape) outputs, VCR audio output connections, and auxiliary audio outputs. Tape, Tape 1, Tape 2 and DAT outputs are usually marked as ‘TAPE OUTPUT,’ ‘TAPE OUT,’ ‘TAPE REC,’ or ‘TAPE RECORD.’ Jacks designated for phono, CD, LD, DVD or tape playback (PB) are inputs and will not work for purposes of installing the transmitter.
Hint: Most TVs, regardless of age or price, have variable outputs. If you are unsure which, if any of your outputs is fixed, refer to the TV instruction manual. Some TVs have outputs that can switch between variable and fixed. Refer to the TV instruction manual. When given a choice, fixed is always recommended.
