Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to connect your ANSTEN Wired Speakers to your television:

  1. Connect to TV: Locate the headphone jack (3.5mm audio output port) on your television. Plug the 3.5mm audio cable from the speaker into this port. The cable length is 5 meters, allowing flexible placement.
  2. Connect to Power: Connect the speaker's power plug to the included dedicated power adapter. Then, plug the power adapter into a standard household electrical outlet. Important: Use only the provided power adapter. Using other power adapters or directly plugging the USB into a TV's USB port may cause noise or improper function.
  3. Power On: Turn the control knob on the top of the speaker clockwise until you hear a click. Continue turning to adjust the volume.

Note:

  • Some televisions may not be able to output sound from both the TV's built-in speakers and external speakers simultaneously. Check your TV's instruction manual for specific audio output settings.
  • Ensure your TV has a 3.5mm audio OUTPUT interface. If not, this speaker will not work.

Operating Instructions

Power On/Off and Volume Control

The single knob on the top of the speaker controls both power and volume. Turn the knob clockwise to power on and increase the volume. Turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the volume and power off (until you hear a click).

Private Listening with Headphones

The speaker includes a 3.5mm headphone output jack. Plug your headphones (not included) into this jack for private listening. When headphones are connected, the speaker's sound output will typically be muted, allowing only headphone audio.

Versatile Usage

In addition to televisions, the ANSTEN Wired Speakers can be connected to other devices with a 3.5mm audio output, such as smartphones, laptops, PCs, and music players, for enhanced audio output.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ANSTEN Wired Speakers, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the speaker. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosols, or solvents, as these may damage the finish or internal components.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Handling: Avoid dropping the speaker or subjecting it to strong impacts. Do not attempt to disassemble the speaker, as this will void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ANSTEN Wired Speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • No Sound:
    • Ensure the speaker is properly connected to the TV's 3.5mm audio output jack.
    • Verify the power adapter is securely plugged into both the speaker and a working electrical outlet.
    • Check if the speaker's volume knob is turned on and adjusted to an audible level.
    • Confirm your TV's audio output settings are configured to send sound to the external speaker (e.g., headphone output).
    • If headphones are plugged into the speaker, unplug them to enable speaker output.
  • Poor Sound Quality / Noise:
    • Ensure you are using the included dedicated power adapter. Other adapters may cause interference or noise.
    • If experiencing crackling or distortion when adjusting the speaker's volume, try increasing the TV's volume and keeping the speaker's volume at a moderate level.
    • Check the audio cable for any damage or loose connections.
  • TV Speakers and External Speaker Not Working Simultaneously:
    • This behavior is dependent on your television's specifications. Many TVs automatically mute their internal speakers when an external device is plugged into the headphone jack. Consult your TV's user manual for options to enable simultaneous audio output, if available.
