Setup

Connecting the Transmitter to Your TV

The transmitter must be connected to a power source in order to function. Connect it to a nearby wall outlet via the provided USB adapter and power cable.

Once the transmitter is connected to its power source, you can connect it to your TV's audio ports. You can choose one of 3 different ways to do this:

OPTION 1 Optical port (recommended)
Plug the provided optical audio cable into the TV's DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) port, then plug the other end into the transmitter's optical port.

NOTE: Most TVs support audio output through only one digital output port at a time, so if your TV's HDMI ARC port is in use, the optical port may be disabled. You can either unplug the HDMI ARC or try connecting the transmitter via RCA / AUX.

OPTION 2 AUX 3.5mm port
Plug the provided AUX 3.5mm audio cable into the TV's AUX 3.5mm output port, then plug the other end into the transmitter's AUX 3.5mm port.

Connecting the Headphones to Transmitter

STEP 1
On your headphones, slide the OFF ON switch to the ON position. The LED indicator should start flashing blue.

STEP 2
The transmitter is ON by default. If not, slide its OFF ON switch to the ON position. The LED indicator should start flashing blue.

STEP 3
Keep the headphones close to the transmitter; they should connect within 3-5 seconds. Once connected, both the headphones' and the transmitter's LED indicators will turn solid blue.

Setting Up Your TV (For optical connections only)

If you connected to your TV via the optical OUT or "OPT OUT" port, you'll need to configure your TV settings before you'll receive audio.

STEP 1
Using your TV's remote control, press the SETTINGS button and navigate to the AUDIO tab within the settings menu. (Please note that there may be differences in the setting names depending on your brand of TV).

STEP 2
Proceed to AUDIO OUTPUT and select "OPTICAL OUT / DIGITAL OUT". Many TVs will do this automatically; skip this step as needed.

STEP 3
Set Audio Output format to "PCM / STEREO" ON or "DOLBY" OFF.

If you're having trouble finding these settings, you can scan the QR code correlating to your TV's brand OR visit avantree.com/ensemble/tv-audio-settings for a more detailed guide.

NOTE 1: Some smart TVs automatically reset their settings after system updates. Make sure your audio output / input format is set to "PCM" and NOT "AUTO" or "DOLBY."

NOTE 2: When using Netflix or Amazon Prime, you may need to start the movie / show before changing the audio settings to "PCM."

FAQ

Below are some of the most common questions people have during setup.

I have a Samsung / LG TV. Why are my headphones failing to reconnect to the transmitter?
Samsung / LG smart TVs tend to pair with any Bluetooth devices they can find, which blocks the Avantree headphones from reconnecting to its transmitter.

Try following the steps below in order to fix this:
DENY the Device - If a popup appears on your TV asking you to Allow or Deny / Block the device to connect to the TV, you MUST DENY / BLOCK the device from connecting.

REMOVE the Device - If your device is already paired with the TV, you'll need to remove the device in your TV's settings: SETTINGS > GENERAL > EXTERNAL DEVICE MANAGER>DEVICE CONNECTION MANAGER > DEVICE LIST > EDIT > Select all Avantree devices >DELETE.

Please note that the routing may differ based on your TV's brand / model. Turn OFF the TV - Physically turn your TV OFF or pull the plug (the remote control does NOT turn the TV off; it places it into standby mode which still allows the TV to connect to devices).

Can I have audio through my TV's speakers and wireless headphones at the same time?
This completely depends on whether or not your TV supports the ability to output audio to 2 devices simultaneously. You can try a few different methods to test if your TV is capable of this or not -- please refer to avantree.com/ensemble/sound for more details.

Why aren't I getting sound when watching Netflix / Amazon Prime?
Why aren't my headphones connecting to the transmitter?
