4. TV Audio Settings
For optimal performance and to allow others to hear the TV speakers while you use the headset, adjust your TV's audio settings:
- Set your TV's volume to at least 40% (or TV box volume to at least 30%) to ensure a strong audio signal to the transmitter.
- If you want to listen privately without disturbing others, mute your TV speakers using the TV remote or select an audio output option other than 'TV Speaker' in your TV's sound settings. The 'by-pass' feature allows the headset to work simultaneously with your existing soundbar or stereo AV Receiver when using an optical connection.
