7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your ANSTEN D1 Wireless Headphones.
7.1. No Sound or Sound Only on One Ear
- Check Connections: Ensure all audio cables are securely connected to both the transmitter and your TV/audio source.
- Transmitter Input Selection: Verify that the switch on the transmitter is set to the correct audio input type (Optical, Coaxial, or Audio).
- TV Audio Output Settings: For Optical or Coaxial connections, ensure your TV's digital audio output is set to "PCM". Refer to section 3.4 for detailed steps.
