Option 1 (recommended, if
available): Plug the red and
white ends of the RCA stereo
cable from the transmitter into
the corresponding red and
white audio output jacks on the
back of your TV
or
on the back
of your cable or satellite box.

headset volume while others
can adjust the volume of the
television speakers.

Option 2: Plug the
headphone cable
into the headphone
jack on your TV. On
most televisions,
this disables the
television’s speakers,
so this option is not
ideal for multiple
viewers. Check the
settings on your TV for
available functionality.
