Getting Started Installing ReSound Unite TV Depending on your TV, HiFi stereo, Computer or other audio setup, the installation for ReSound Unite TV may differ. The following steps will guide you through the pairing and connecting process, which can be easily accomplished by almost anyone. Start with connecting the cables and finish by pairing ReSound Unite TV to your hearing instruments. Note: With this installation, most TVs will send sound to both hearing instruments and speakers simultaneously.
In the packaging box you will find screws for mounting the streamer on a wall. Instead of using screws, you can also velcro the streamer on the side or on top of the TV. For best performance, the TV streamer should be placed vertically, either mounted on the wall or placed in the table stand that comes with the packaging. 3. Connect the Jack adapter on the other end of the audio cable 4. Plug the Jack adapter into the TVs ”HEADPHONE” output terminal, or alternatively in your computers’ audio terminal.
Note: The HEADPHONE output terminal is usually located on the side or front of the TV. When using the HEADPHONE terminal, usually only the person wearing the hearing instruments will hear the sound, and the TV speakers are muted. If it is not desired that speakers are muted, please refer to the first installation, or the one below for the scart adapter. Your TV may support speakers and HEADPHONE being on simultaneously, check your TV manual for instructions. Scart adapter – for TV: 1.
