Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Signia Streamline TV 03 for optimal performance:
- Unpack and Identify Components: Ensure all necessary cables are present. The Streamline TV 03 typically includes various audio cables to accommodate different television setups.
- Connect to Television Audio Output:
- Locate the audio output ports on your television. Most modern TVs feature several options.
- The Optical audio out port is generally recommended for the best sound quality. If available, use the optical cable provided to connect the Streamline TV 03 to your TV's optical output.
- Alternatively, if your TV has RCA audio out jacks (red and white), use the appropriate RCA cable to connect the Streamline TV 03.
- Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the TV and the Streamline TV 03 unit.
- Power Connection: Plug the power adapter into the Streamline TV 03 unit, then connect it to a power outlet. The unit will power on automatically.
- Pairing with Hearing Aids:
- Ensure your Signia NX or BT 13 hearing aids are turned on and within range (up to 30 feet) of the Streamline TV 03.
- The pairing process is typically automatic or initiated through the Signia app. Refer to your hearing aid's specific instructions for pairing with accessories.
- Your hearing care professional may need to add a specific "TV program" to your hearing aids for optimal functionality, especially if you intend to use the device without the Signia app.
Operating Instructions
Once set up, the Streamline TV 03 provides a seamless audio experience:
- Automatic Connection: After initial pairing, your hearing aids should automatically connect to the Streamline TV 03 when it is powered on and within range.
- Individual Volume Control: You can adjust the volume of the streamed audio directly through your hearing aids or via the Signia app on your smartphone. This allows for personalized volume settings without altering the TV's main volume.
- Enhanced Clarity: The Streamline TV 03 bypasses ambient room noise, delivering clear, direct audio to your hearing aids, which can significantly improve speech understanding.
- Signia App Integration: If you use the Signia app, controls for the Streamline TV 03 may appear within the app interface, offering convenient management of streaming functions and volume.
- Range: The device can stream audio to your hearing aids from up to 30 feet away.
