Setting Up
Connecting to Your TV
The transmitter dock must be connected to a power source via the provided power
cable in order to function. Plug the transmitter dock into either:
1. A TV’s USB power port, OR 2. A nearby wall outlet via the USB adapter included
(we recommend this so that it can still provide power to the dock to charge the
NB15T earphones when the TV is not in use)
Once the transmitter dock is connected to its power source, you can connect it to
your TV. You can choose one of 3 dierent ways to do this:

time, so if your TV’s HDMI ARC port is in use, the optical port may be disabled. You
can either unplug the HDMI ARC, or try connecting the transmitter via RCA / AUX.

Setting Up Your TV (FOR OPTICAL CONNECTIONS ONLY)
If you connected to your TV via the optical OUT or“OPT OUT” port, you’ll need to
congure your TV settings before you can receive audio.
STEP 1
Using your TV’s remote control, press the SETTINGS button and navigate to the
AUDIO tab within the settings menu. (Please note that there may be dierences in
the setting names depending on your brand of TV).
STEP 2
Proceed to AUDIO OUTPUT and select “OPTICAL OUT / DIGITAL OUT”. Many TVs will
do this automatically; skip this step as needed.
STEP 3
Set the AUDIO OUTPUT format to “PCM / STEREO” ON or “DOLBY ”OFF.
If you’re having trouble nding these settings, you can scan the QR code
corresponding to your TV’s brand OR visit
avantree.com/medley-air/tv-audio-settings for a more detailed guide.
NOTE 1: Smart TVs automatically reset their settings after system updates. Make
sure your audio output / input format is set to “PCM” and NOT “AUTO” or “Dolby.”
NOTE 2: When using Netix or Amazon Prime, you may need to start the movie /
show before changing the audio settings to “PCM.”

Advanced Features
Listening with a Soundbar
The Medley Air’s pass-through function allows you to listen through both the
headphones and an external soundbar / stereo AVR simultaneously.
STEP 1
Plug an additional optical, 3.5mm AUX, or RCA audio cable into the corresponding
audio port in the transmitter’s “BYPASS TO SPEAKER”section.
STEP 2
Plug the other end into your external sound system, then you’re good to go.
NOTE: Bypass only works with the same type of input / output, i.e.
if you connect to your TV via OPT, you’ll need to connect to your speaker via OPT as
well.

on this process.
STEP 1

Once the NB15T earphones are successfully connected, put your transmitter into
PAIRING mode by pressing & holding the button until the LED ashes red &
blue alternately.
STEP 3
Put your second pair of Bluetooth headphones into PAIRING mode. Please refer to
your headphones’ user manual for more details if necessary.

or until they connect. Once connected, the LED will turn a solid blue.
NOTE: To easily reconnect to the second pair of headphones, you can lock the
second pair of headphones’ connection to the transmitter by pressing & holding the
button for 8 seconds. The LED will turn a solid pink for 5 seconds, indicating
that they have been successfully locked.

FAQ
Below are some of the most common questions people have during setup.
Can I have audio through my TV's speakers and wireless headphones at the
same time?
This completely depends on whether or not your TV supports the ability to output
audio to 2 sources simultaneously. You can try a few dierent methods to test if
your TV is capable of this or not - please refer to avantree.com/medley-air/sound
for more details.
The volume is too low, how can I make it higher?
First, make sure both your TV and earphones are at max volume. If the max volume
is not sucient for you and your Medley Air was connected to your TV via OPT
output, you can try connecting the transmitter to your TV’s AUX audio output port
instead. Normally the volume from AUX outputs is louder than the OPT port.
Please also note that due to the Medley Air’s open-ear design, it will inherently
have slightly lower volumes than in-ear or over-ear headphones.
What should I do if the earphones are too small?
We are working on a larger version with a longer headband. Please contact us at
[email protected] if you’d like a sample!
Why aren't I getting sound from my headphones?
Why aren’t I getting sound when watching Netix / Amazon Prime?
