We recommend connecting to either the TOSLINK input or
the RCA input of the transmitter.
If both inputs of the transmitter are used, the electronic
device that is connected via TOSLINK cable has the higher
priority and only the audio signal of this device will be
streamed to your hearing aids.

Further information:
●Without adapter: The RCA output of the electronic
device is typically marked “L-R AUDIO OUT” and found
on the back or control panel.
●With SCART adapter: The audio signal can depend
on the source selected on the electronic device. For
example some TVs will only make TV sound available on
the SCART output, but not the sound from a connected
DVD player.
●With mini jack adapter: The mini jack output on the
electronic device is typically the headphone output.
The speakers of the electronic device may be muted
if the headphone output is used so sound is only heard
through the hearing aids.
●Refer to the electronic device's manual: Set the output
format of the electronic device to analog audio or
uncompressed audio.
