Step : Connecting to the TV
Supported audio formats:
The uTV  can be connected to any audio source
such as a TV, PC or hi- system. It supports
three dierent audio input formats.
For best results, we recommend you use the
optical or coaxial connection if available on your
audio device.
Note: please ensure to always connect uTV  to
the audio output of your device.
Signal priorities:
Normally it is enough to connect one audio
cable. If more than one cable is connected and
a signal is present, uTV  will select the best
possible input in the following order: optical,
coaxial, analog.
Note: even though the optical and coaxial
cables are only one wire, the signal is stereo.
uTV  shows the selected input by an orange
audio indicator light:

When connecting the uTV  to the headset
socket of your TV, you are able to adjust the
volume via your TV remote control.
Some TVs will switch o their loudspeakers
when plugging the jack into the headset socket
– the TV will not be audible for other people. In
this case, use the Cinch/RCA output socket as
described in Option 3. For further information
on volume adjustment, refer to the section on
adjusting the volume. The uTV can also be
connected to any other audio source such as an
MP3 player, PC or home sound system using the
stereo plug cable.

When using your streamer for the rst time,
charge it for at least three hours even if the
battery indicator turns green earlier. Aer the
initial charge, you may leave the streamer in the
charging slot for and unlimited time.
Charging is complete when the streamer’s
indicator light turns solid green.

they were purchased separately, they must rst
be paired with each other.
First, put your streamer into pairing mode.
