Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Sennheiser TR 5000 Transmitter.

  1. Connect Power: Connect the power supply unit to the transmitter's power input port and then plug it into a wall outlet. The power indicator should illuminate.
  2. Connect to Audio Source:
    • For TV: Use the appropriate audio cable (e.g., optical, RCA, 3.5mm) to connect the transmitter's audio input to your TV's audio output. Ensure your TV's audio output is enabled and set to the correct format (e.g., PCM for optical).
    • For Other Audio Devices: Connect to your stereo system, receiver, or other audio source using the suitable audio cable.
  3. Place Transmitter: Position the transmitter on a stable, flat surface, ideally near your TV or audio source, and within range of where you will be using your headphones. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
  4. Charge Headphones: Place your compatible Sennheiser RS5000, Flex5000, or RS 5200 headphones onto the docking cradle of the TR 5000 transmitter to ensure they are charged before first use.

Operating Instructions

Once set up, operating the TR 5000 Transmitter is straightforward.

  1. Power On Headphones: Ensure your Sennheiser TV headphones are powered on and paired with the transmitter. Refer to your headphone's specific manual for pairing instructions if needed.
  2. Select Audio Channel: Use the Channel Selection Buttons (1, 2, 3) on the transmitter to choose the desired audio channel. Your headphones should automatically tune to the selected channel. Experiment with different channels if you experience interference.
  3. Adjust Audio Balance: If you need to adjust the balance between the left and right audio channels, use the Left (L) and Right (R) buttons. Press 'L' to increase volume in the left ear and decrease in the right, and 'R' to do the opposite.
  4. Volume Control: Volume is typically controlled directly on your Sennheiser TV headphones. Adjust the volume on your headphones to a comfortable listening level.
  5. Charging: When not in use, place your headphones back onto the docking cradle of the TR 5000 transmitter to charge them. The charging indicator on the headphones (and possibly the transmitter) will show charging status.
