If a problem occurs ...
If a problem occurs ... You cannot hear anything Possible cause Is there a free line of sight between receiver and transmitter? Are transmitter and receiver exposed to direct sunlight? Is the receiver still within the transmitter’s range? Are all connectors connected correctly? Is the operation indicator B lit? Solution Remove obstacles in the light path between receiver and transmitter. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Move the receiver closer to the transmitter.
If a problem occurs ... You hear the sound only with one ear Possible cause Is the balance adjusted correctly? Solution Is the transmitter set to mono? Set the mono/stereo switch F on the transmitter to the left (see page 17). Turn the balance control 4 to the left or right (see page 17).
Additional technical information The loudspeakers of your TV are muted Possible cause Some TVs have a function that mutes the loudspeakers when you connect a transmitter. Solution Via the operating menu of your TV, check if and how the muting can be deactivated. Use a different audio socket on your TV or use the MKE 800 TV-N external microphone (see “Accessories and spare parts” on page 30).
Additional technical information Compression (settings 1 and 3) Deterioration of the ability to hear quiet sounds as well as loud ones is a typical symptom of old age. Compression compensates for these volume differences by boosting the volume of quiet sounds and reducing the volume of loud sounds if necessary. Compression seems to put the speech in the foreground, making it easier to understand. Compression is self-regulating; once it has been activated, it is not necessary to make any other settings.
Additional technical information Changing the operating mode The transmitter can be set to a different operating mode. This is useful when the sound of your sound source is very low and the transmitter therefore does not always switch on automatically. 왘 Press the “speech intelligibility” button C for approx. 5 seconds. D C The indicator D goes off.
