Help and advice for connecting to TV with analogue audio output.
When connecting a MegaLoop, EchoLink or RadioLink to a TV. It is
usually best not to use the SCART sockets as this can result in picking
up the wrong sound or sound that isout of sync with the picture.
L
R
Aerial Audio out SCART sockets
Step 1. When connecting to a TV the first thing to look for is red
and White Audio out sockets these are usually at the back of the
TV. and usually indicated by a circle with an arrow pointing out of it.
Connecting from audio out will always provide the correct sound for
the program that is being watched. Note the red white and yellow
sockets that are normally on the front or side of TVs are for
sound and picture in and not sound out. On some of the newer
flat screen TVs the sockets may be covered by a removable panel
at the rear of the TV.
Step 2. If the TV. has no audio out sockets or they are not working
the next thing to try is the headphone socket simply switch the TV.
on and insert the 3.5mm jack plug into the headphone socket, if the
sound is not cut from the speakers then connect from this and into
the line in/Audio in on the loop or Transmitter . You will then have
to adjust the headphone volume level on the TV. this is done by
pressing the menu button on the TV. remote, selecting sound and
then moving the headphone volume to about two thirds full.
Step 3. If the TV. has no audio out and the headphone connection
cuts the sound from the TV speakers simply pick up sound by fixing
the microphone provided to the speaker of the TV. To provide the
best results adjust the TVs bass and treble levels to ¼ of max bass
and ¾ of max treble and if possible set the sound to mono.

Help and advice for connecting to a TV. that has Digital Optical
Audio Output
Many of the newer TV. models no longer have analogue audio
output, they have Digital Optical Audio Out or Digital Coaxial Audio
Out. The picture below shows the type of socket to look for.
To connect your equipment from this socket you will require an
optional Digital to Analogue Converter available from Hearing
Products International Ltd.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
OPTICAL
COAXIAL
The picture below shows the front and rear of a typical Digital to
Analogue converter. Set up is easy the converter is
connected from the TV to the (in) socket on the converter and the
MegaLoop, EchoLink, or other analogue device is then
connected to the phono out sockets. The converter is supplied
with a mains adapter and Optical connecting cable as this is the
most common. If the Coaxial connecting cable is required this will
have to be purchased separately.
