Set 820 S
The Set 820 S is an assistive listening system for your radio, TV, hi-fi
system or similar sound sources at the volume you choose.
The transmitter has a range of up to 100 m which allows you to move
around freely – without the constrictions of cables. The system uses
RF audio signals for sound transmission.
The RR 820 S is an RF stereo receiver which features an audio socket for
connecting a pair of headphones, induction accessories or hearing aids
with audio input. The RR 820 S receives music and speech via wireless
transmission from a TR 820 RF stereo transmitter.
The EZT 1011 induction neck loop inductively transmits the audio signal
from the receiver to hearing aids in T-position.

Connecting the transmitter (charging unit)
The rear of the transmitter is
fitted with two audio inputs:
A socket (LINE) for connection
to the audio output or the
headphone socket on your TV,
and a microphone socket (MIC).
Plug in one end of the connecting cable to the audio output or the
headphone socket on your TV, and the other end to the LINE socket on
the transmitter.
If your TV set is fitted with a SCART socket, use the supplied adapter.
If your TV does not have a headphone or SCART socket, you can use an
external microphone which is described in the section “Accessories”.

Changing the transmission channel
To avoid interference caused by
the simultaneous operation of se-
veral transmitters, select a diffe-
rent channel on each transmitter.
To select a channel, set the
CHANNEL switch at the rear of
the transmitter to the desired po-
sition. Due to restrictions on frequency usage, only two channels are
available:
Position 1 or 3 = channel 1
Position 2 = channel 2
Turning the automatic compression system on
Use the COMP switch (compression) at the rear of the transmitter to turn
the automatic compression system on. This system reproduces soft
passages louder and decreases loud sounds. Choose the setting that
suits your listening preferences.

Adjusting the receiver channel
First turn on the transmitter (see section
“Where to place the transmitter”).
As soon as the receiver is turned on, it au-
tomatically tunes itself to the first strong si-
gnal found (normally the transmitter
frequency). If, for some reason, the selec-
ted channel is not the correct one (e.g. be-
cause of interference or another nearby
system), press the TUNE button at the
rear of the receiver until you can hear the
audio signal loud and clear. If
you decide to change the transmitter
channel (see section "Changing the trans-
mission channel”), the frequency search
tuning must be re-started by pressing the
TUNE button on the receiver again.
