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 is out 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.
