3. Setup Instructions

3.1. Connecting the Transmitting Base to Your TV

The transmitting base connects to your TV's audio output. The SEREONIC Wireless TV Speaker system supports multiple connection types:

1. Optical Digital Audio Output: Use the provided Optical Cable. Connect one end to the TV's Optical Out port and the other end to the Optical In port on the transmitting base. This is the recommended connection for most modern TVs, especially for streaming services. Ensure your TV's audio output format is set to PCM audio for optimal compatibility.
2. 3.5mm Audio Output (Headphone Jack): Use the provided 3.5mm to RCA cable. Connect the 3.5mm end to your TV's headphone jack and the RCA ends to the RCA In ports on the transmitting base.
3. RCA Audio Output (Red/White Ports): Use the provided 3.5mm to RCA cable and the RCA splitter if needed. Connect the RCA ends to your TV's Audio Out ports (usually red and white) and the 3.5mm end to the transmitting base, or use the RCA splitter to connect directly to the base's RCA In ports.
4. HDMI Connection: For TVs that only offer HDMI audio output, an external HDMI audio converter (sold separately) is required. Connect the HDMI converter to your TV, then use one of the above methods (Optical, 3.5mm, or RCA) to connect the converter to the SEREONIC transmitting base.

3.2. Powering the Transmitting Base

Connect the power adapter to the transmitting base and plug it into a standard wall outlet. The 'POWER' indicator light on the base will illuminate.

Place the wireless speaker onto the transmitting base. Ensure the speaker is correctly seated for charging. The 'LOW BAT/CHARGING' indicator light on the speaker will show its charging status. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours and provides up to 8 hours of continuous operation.
