(GE surge protector recommended) and to the
Wireless MP3 Transmitter.

a standard computer sound card or other audio source.
The output jack on most sound cards is green.

the input jack in the Wireless MP3 Transmitter.

3.5mm output jack on the transmitter.

the MP3 Receiver. Make sure to connect the red plug
to the red jack and the white plug to the white jack.
3. Connect the RCA stereo cable to available input jacks
on your stereo equipment again making sure you
connect red to red and white to white.

Final Wireless Set-Up
1. Turn on computer and start music playback. Adjust
volume to a medium setting.
2. Make sure volume on stereo equipment is all the way
down to prevent damage to speakers.
3. Turn on power to stereo equipment and select the
input source that corresponds with the input jacks to
which you connected the MP3 Receiver, i.e. CD,
video, auxiliary, etc.
4. Adjust volume to desired listening level to begin
enjoying your MP3’s wirelessly.
6. Trouble Shooting:
Problem #1: No Sound
1. Review the installation instructions (section 5) to
make sure everything is properly connected.
2. Make sure the power LED is illuminated on both the
Transmitter and Receiver.
3. Make sure the proper input is selected on your stereo
equipment that corresponds with the input jacks to
which you connected the MP3 Receiver.
4. Check all volume control settings on stereo
equipment, master volume control on computer, and
volume control in music playback software. The
volume settings must be at an audible level in all
possible locations before you will hear music.
Problem #2: Poor Sound Quality
1. Your music is being transmitted wirelessly using radio
frequency (RF) technology. Much like an FM
antenna, you may need to adjust the position of the
Transmitter and Receiver to maximize sound quality:
a. All computer and stereo equipment
generates electromagnetic interference.
Make sure both Transmitter and Receiver
are positioned at least 5 feet away from
all other equipment.
b. The Wireless MP3 Transmitter has a
maximum range of up to 100 feet line of
sight, but the range will vary depending
on environmental factors. Each wall you
transmit through cuts the range in half
(brick or concrete walls will reduce range
more than sheet rock or wood). Position
the Transmitter and Receiver closer
together to improve sound quality.
c. Position the Transmitter and Receiver to
the highest possible locations.
2. FCC restrictions on consumer grade radio frequency
(RF) products require that they accept interference.
You may hear background static or a hum in between
songs. To compensate for this, make sure volume
controls on your computer or other audio input device
are set to medium volume so the volume of the music
overcomes the static background noise. Selecting the
highest volume setting on computer or audio input
device may cause distortion or added background
noise. Adjust volume to desired level using the
volume control on your stereo equipment.
3. Radio Frequency (RF) products have inherent
limitations. Just as CD’s played over FM radio
stations are not the same quality of sound as CD’s
played directly using your CD player, the Wireless
MP3 Transmitter is not capable of producing the same
sound quality as a wired connection. For pure digital
connectivity, consider using the patented GE Wired
MP3 Adapter that is available in several lengths: 25’
(HO97687), 50’ (HO97688), and 100’ (HO97689).
7. Other GE MP3 Products:
•Universal MP3 Remote (HO97685): Controls up to
four traditional entertainment devices using Infra Red
(IR) just like any other universal remote. The
Universal MP3 Remote also allows you control
multimedia applications on your computer so you can
take command of your CD’s, MP3’s, or DVD’s. The
MP3 Remote communicates with a USB receiver
using Radio Frequency (RF) technology that has a
range of up to 300 feet. By combining the Wireless
MP3 Transmitter with the Universal MP3 remote, you
can now listen to and control your computer music
from any room in your house.
•MP3 Adapter: Provides pure digital connectivity
between your computer and stereo equipment. A
patented piggyback jack allows music to be played
over your stereo equipment and your PC speakers
simultaneously. The MP3 Adapter is available in
several lengths: 12’ (HO97695), 25’ (HO97687), 50’
(HO97688), and 100’ (HO97689).
