About Variable-Level Outputs

‘TAPE RECORD.’ Jacks designated for phono, CD, LD, DVD or tape playback (PB) are inputs and will not work for purposes of installing the transmitter.

Fixed-level outputs from TVs are usually marked as ‘Constant,’ ‘Fixed,’ or ‘Select.’ If they are not marked as such, they are probably variable outputs (see “About Variable-Level Outputs,” on page 8).

Outputs from VCRs are almost always fixed.

Hint: When connecting to the fixed audio outputs of a VCR, remember that for the wireless system to work, the VCR must be active. In other words, turn the TV on to the channel you would normally use to watch a videotape (channel 3 or 4), turn the VCR on, then press the TV/VCR button on your VCR remote control one time to make the VCR the controlling piece of equipment. At this point, whatever channel is showing on the tuner for the VCR should be the channel playing on the TV. Change channels on the VCR. This configuration gives independent volume control through the TV (using the TV remote control) and at the speaker.

Hint: If your VCR (or other RCA-type audio source you are connecting to) is mono (a single audio output), you need to acquire another RCA “Y” Cable. It differs from the “Y” Cable Adapter included in this kit. It will have a single male RCA plug and 2 female RCA jacks. Connect the dual RCA plugs from the “Y” Cable Adapter (O) to the 2 female RCA jacks on the second “Y” cable, then connect the single male RCA plug of the second “Y” cable to the single audio output of the VCR.

A variable-leveloutput, such as a headphone jack or certain RCA-type outputs, pro- vides an audio signal to the transmitter that changes in relation to volume level on the audio source. As the volume of the audio source goes up and down, so too does the audio signal strength sent to the transmitter. This can affect the quality of sound you hear at the speaker, and may require increasing or decreasing the volume level of the audio source to achieve a suitably strong audio signal for use with the AW810 system.

Hint: On most bookshelf-type or compact stereo systems, inserting a headphone plug into the headphone jack results in automatic cutoff of the regular, or hard- wired, speakers.

Hint: Most TVs, regardless of age or price, have variable outputs. If you are unsure which, if any of your outputs is fixed, refer to the TV instruction manual. Some TVs
