Operating Manual for AS-TV8/TV5 Series
**Please visit for the latest updates**www.galaxyaudio.com
Introduction
1
Thank you for purchasing the TV8 / TV5 series wireless portable
sound systems. These units feature an “all in one” design that
allows them to be configured with a variety of different function
modules to suit your specific needs. With rich, full sound and plenty
of power, the TV8 series is ideally suited to cover large areas. The
TV5, with its compact size, is ideal for classrooms, conference
rooms, and guided tours. This manual covers the complete
functions and operations of the TV8 and TV5 including all optional
function modules. It also covers the TXRM Stationary Transmitter,
the TVHH/TVHHC Handheld Wireless Mics, and the TVMBP
Bodypack Transmitter. To use these systems to their fullest
potential please read this manual carefully.

1. Both the TV8 and TV5 use a universal AC switching power supply/charger
that will operate on voltages of 100~240V,50/60Hz. The TV8 power supply is
internal, while the TV5's is external. Verify that the voltage to which you are
connecting is in this range and then connect the AC power cord from the
Traveler to the wall outlet.
2. Charge the battery for at least 8 hours with the Power Switch OFF prior to
first time use to maintain the quality of the battery and provide maximum
operation time. When charging, the charging indicator lights RED. When
charging is almost complete, the indicator will flash alternately RED and
GREEN. After the battery is fully charged, the indicator will light GREEN.
After the initial charge the Traveler may be operated on either AC or Battery
power. When operating on AC power the Traveler will simultaneously
recharge its internal batteries.
3. These units have auto protection circuitry that will protect the battery from
being overcharged or overused. When running on battery power and the
power switch LED blinks RED, the battery power is down to 30%. When the
battery is nearly exhausted, the system will turn off automatically to protect
the battery.

Operation of TV8 Portable Sound System
A. Power Supply/Charger (see page 7)
1. There is a universal AC switching power supply/charger built into the system
that will operate on voltages of 100~240V,50/60Hz. Verify that the voltage to

After the battery is fully charged, the indicator lights GREEN. The Universal
Power Supply/Battery Charger allows the Traveler to be used anywhere in
the world. The Traveler will operate for an unlimited time on AC power and
for about 6 hours on just battery power. A full recharge of the batteries takes
about 4 hours. The Traveler may be operated while recharging the batteries
without affecting the charge time. If a power failure occurs when operating
on AC, the Traveler will seamlessly switch over to battery power.
