4. Setup
Charging the Device:
- Connect the provided Type-C charging cable to the DC-5V port on the TX200.
- Connect the other end of the charging cable to a USB power adapter (5V/1A recommended) or a computer USB port.
- The charging indicator will light up during charging and turn off when fully charged. A full charge takes approximately 2.5 hours.
Transmitter (TX) Mode Setup:
Use TX mode to stream audio from non-Bluetooth devices (e.g., TV, PC, projector) to Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
- Ensure the TX200 is powered on.
- Connect the TX200 to your audio source device (TV, PC, etc.) using one of the following methods:
- Optical Cable: Connect one end of the optical cable to the SPDIF OUT port on the TX200 and the other end to the optical audio output port of your source device.
- 3.5mm Audio Cable: Connect one end of the 3.5mm audio cable to the AUX port on the TX200 and the other end to the 3.5mm audio output (headphone jack) of your source device.
- RCA Audio Cable: If your source device has RCA audio outputs, use the provided RCA to 3.5mm cable. Connect the RCA ends to your source device's L/R audio outputs and the 3.5mm end to the AUX port on the TX200.
- Set the TX200 to TX mode (the TX indicator LED should be lit). If not, press the 'M' button to switch modes.
- Place your Bluetooth headphones or speakers in pairing mode.
- The TX200 will automatically search for and connect to nearby Bluetooth devices. Once connected, the corresponding codec indicator (e.g., APTX, LL, SBC) will light up.
Receiver (RX) Mode Setup:
Use RX mode to stream audio from your Bluetooth-enabled device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) to non-Bluetooth audio systems (e.g., home stereo, wired speakers).
- Ensure the TX200 is powered on.
- Connect the TX200 to your audio receiving device (home stereo, wired speakers, car audio) using one of the following methods:
- Optical Cable: Connect one end of the optical cable to the SPDIF IN port on the TX200 and the other end to the optical audio input port of your receiving device.
- 3.5mm Audio Cable: Connect one end of the 3.5mm audio cable to the AUX port on the TX200 and the other end to the 3.5mm audio input of your receiving device.
- RCA Audio Cable: If your receiving device has RCA audio inputs, use the provided RCA to 3.5mm cable. Connect the RCA ends to your receiving device's L/R audio inputs and the 3.5mm end to the AUX port on the TX200.
- Set the TX200 to RX mode (the RX indicator LED should be lit). If not, press the 'M' button to switch modes.
- Enable Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet and search for "TX200" in the list of available devices.
- Select "TX200" to pair. Once connected, the corresponding codec indicator will light up.
