If You Cannot Reach/Do Not Have Output Ports On Your TV
If no “audio out” port is available on your TV or if the ports are hard to reach, you may also use the TV’s
built-in speaker. Simply using the sticker to stick the external microphone (both the sticker and external
microphone coming with the HT280) to your TV (near your TV speaker). It should pick up the audio and
transmit the audio to the earphones.
Notes:
Please note that the sound quality produced by this method may not be as good as that of optical/ana-
log connections.
Usually the TV’s built-in speaker locates at the bottom of the TV. However, it may vary depending on the
TV's brand & model. Please refer to your TV's user manual for more details.
Before sticking the external microphone to your TV, we recommend trying a few dierent spots to nd
the optimum position for the best sound quality.
