Step 2: Connect the Transmitting Base to your TV
The SEREONIC TV Speaker supports multiple audio input options. Choose the best option for your TV:
Option A: Optical Digital Audio (Recommended for Smart TVs)
- Connect one end of the optical cable to the 'OPTICAL OUT' port on your TV.
- Connect the other end of the optical cable to the 'OPTICAL IN' port on the transmitting base.
- Important: Access your TV's audio settings and set the 'Digital Audio Output' format to PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) or Stereo. Avoid Dolby Digital or DTS formats, as they are not supported by this speaker.
Image: Setting your TV's audio output to PCM is crucial for optimal compatibility and performance with the SEREONIC speaker.
Option B: 3.5mm Audio Out (Headphone Jack)
- Connect one end of the 3.5mm to RCA cable (the 3.5mm plug) to the headphone jack on your TV.
- Connect the red and white RCA plugs to the corresponding 'AUDIO IN' ports on the transmitting base.
Option C: RCA Audio Out (Red/White Ports)
- Connect the red and white RCA plugs of the 3.5mm to RCA cable to the 'AUDIO OUT' ports on your TV.
- Connect the 3.5mm plug to the '3.5mm IN' port on the transmitting base.
- If your TV only has one set of RCA audio output ports that are already in use, use the included RCA splitter.
