CONNECTING THE TRANSMITTER TO AN AUDIO SOURCE
The transmitter may be connected two ways depending on your audio
source. If your audio source has left and right RCA output jacks, you will only
use the DUAL RCA CABLE. If your audio source does not have left and right
RCA output jacks, but rather a stereo headphone jack, you will use both the
Y ADAPTER 3.5MM CABLE and the DUAL RCA CABLE.
LEFT AND RIGHT RCA OUTPUT JACKS
1. Insert one end of the TRANSMITTER POWER ADAPTER into DC 9V
on the transmitter, and the other end into an electrical outlet.
2. Insert one end of the DUAL RCA CABLE into the appropriately colored
R/L LINE IN jacks on the transmitter, and the other end into your audio
source’s left and right audio output jacks.
