INTRODUCTION
TV SOUND® is a Personal Sound Amplifier which can be used by people with
impaired hearing or by people with normal hearing. It can be used to listen to TV or
other audio equipment without disturbing others. It uses a 2.3MHz Infra-red (IR)
system.
WARNING: This product can produce high sound pressure levels in order to
assist people with impaired hearing. Excessive sound pressure levels can cause
hearing damage so it is recommended to initially set the volume to a low level and
gradually increase it to a comfortable level.
If your TV set has only digital audio output terminals (optical or coaxial) it
will be necessary to obtain a Digital to Analog (DAC) converter box and
connect as described elsewhere in this manual.

INSTALLATION

1. Connect the power supply as shown in the diagram.
2. The transmitter/charger must be connected to the audio OUTPUT sockets of the
TV, audio equipment, cable or satellite box, DVD or VCR player, etc. When an
RCA type cable is used the outputs jacks are red and white. Refer to the diagram.
A Scart adapter (not included) may also be used. Use only the red and white
terminals.
NOTE: If the system is connected to a cable or satellite box and to a DVD or VCR
player it is necessary to turn off the device which is not in use at the time. When
using the DVD or VCR player turn off the cable or satellite box. When watching
TV turn off the DVD and VCR player.
3. Connecting to a digital converter box (DAC).
Connect the digital audio output from the TV or audio device to the DAC using
an appropriate cable (optical or coaxial cable). Then use the supplied RCA type
cable to connect from the red and white output terminals of the DAC to the audio
input socket of the transmitter/charger.
NOTE: If you wish to use the system to listen to TV while the TV sound is muted
so as not to disturb others the TV audio output must be set to FIXED. Refer to the
user manual of your TV for instructions as to how to set to FIXED.
POSITIONING
The infra-red (IR) signals need a direct line-of-sight connection between the
transmitter and the headset. Position the transmitter such that there is a direct
line-of-sight connection with the headset when in use. The IR signals may be
6
blocked by objects such as walls, doors, furniture, newspapers, books, etc. The IR
diodes are lit during use.
NOTE: When there is no audio input to the transmitter/charge transmission is
turned off automatically and is resumed automatically when audio signal is
restored.
OPERATION
1. Make sure that the transmitter/charger is correctly connected to the mains supply
using the supplied adapter.
2. Put on the headset such that the front (silkscreened) part of the headset is facing
the transmitter.
3. Turn on the headset using the ON/OFF/VOLUME control and adjust the volume.
4. When you are finished using the system carefully place the headset in the
charging cradle making sure that it fits snugly in the cradle. Check that the charging
light turns on.
SAFETY, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
