How do you connect the base to the TV
Two related questions:
(1) If the TV has a headphone jack, do you simply connect the base by plugging into that jack?
(2) How do you connect it the TV does NOT have a headphone jack?
It is important to note that source volume is dependent on your component. The RS series can connect via the RCA or headphone jacks on your components. Generally speaking, the following occurs when you connect a Sennheiser wireless headphone to your component:
-connected to the RCA jacks: You can operate volume levels independently. You can also shut off the main speakers via a menu and continue output to the transmitter (newer components).
-connected to the headphone jack: The speakers will automatically shut off once you plug the jack into the socket. Your volume is now dependent on the level of your component.
-Most televisions will not pass audio from an HDMI connection (example: from your cable box/DVR/HD receiver) to an analog output-- only a digital output, but usually a headphone jack if it has one.
As stated before, it will depend on your component or television; the transmitter does not shut anything off or change settings...it's sole purpose is to take whatever audio signal it is given, and send it to the receiver/headphone. If you wish to connect to a digital audio output, you would need a digital to analog audio converter (sold for $49 from our sales department at +1 877 736 6434 x1, part# USGEFEN DAC). First check that there is an RCA output or headphone output available on your components (If you are watching TV, also check the set-top cable box/DVR/HD Receiver for outputs if you have one).
I have attached a setup video for a related product, the RS 180.
