Getting Started

Installing the TV Streamer

Depending on your TV, stereo, computer or other audio setup, the installation of the TV Streamer may be done in several ways, which are described in the following section.

The following steps will guide you through the pairing and connecting process. Start by connecting cables between the

TV Streamer and the audio source and finish by pairing the TV

Streamer to your sound processors.

Note: The TV Streamer supports both analogue and digital audio input. Please read the following sections for information about supported audio formats and how to connect the TV Streamer to audio sources.

Connecting the TV Streamer to an analogue audio source (e.g. TV or stereo):

See figure 2 2

1. Connect the power supply to the wall socket and insert the cable into the micro-USB socket on the TV Streamer.

2. Insert the male stereo mini-jack on the audio cable into the female stereo mini-jack input on the TV Streamer [no.

4 in figure 1].

3. Plug the other end audio cord into the “AUDIO OUT” terminals on the audio source. The “AUDIO OUT” is usually marked “L – R” for left and right, and can usually be found on the back of the audio source.

Note: With this installation, most audio sources will send sound to both sound processors and additional speakers connected to the audio source simultaneously. On some audio sources you can adjust the balance between the

AUDIO OUT and the speakers. Consult your audio source manual for instructions.

Alternative analogue audio cable installations:

If it is not possible to connect the TV Streamer to the AUDIO

OUTPUT of the audio source using the red and white plugs, the following installation alternatives can be used:

2. Press the pairing button on the TV Streamer [no. 2 in figure

1] once. The yellow indicator light on the front of the TV

Streamer [no. 10 in figure 1] will now flash once every 2 seconds to indicate that the TV Streamer is ready to be paired in channel 1. Your TV Streamer will remain in pairing mode for 20 seconds.

3. While pairing mode is activated, close the battery doors of both sound processors and make sure they are ON.

Successful pairing will be indicated by an audible melody being played in both sound processors. You are now ready to use the TV Streamer.

Pairing the TV Streamer in channel 2

1. Press the pairing button twice. The yellow indicator light on the front of the TV Streamer will now flash twice every 2 seconds to indicate that it is ready to be paired in channel 2.

2. While in pairing mode close the battery doors on the sound processors.

Pairing the TV Streamer in channel 3

1. Press the pairing button three times. The yellow indicator light on the front of the TV Streamer will now flash three times every 2 seconds to indicate that it is ready to be paired in channel 3.

Turn on the TV, stereo, computer or other audio device connected to the TV Streamer. Make sure your sound processors are turned on as well. Streaming may be started in one of two ways:

1. Press and hold the button on either sound processor for about three seconds. Once the TV Streamer has been connected, an audible melody will play in your sound processor and will be followed by the streamed sound.

2. If you have a Cochlear Baha Remote Control (optional), simply press the streaming button [no. 3 in figure 7] on this

Remote Control. Once the sound processors connect to the TV Streamer, an audible melody will play in both ears to confirm the presence of streamed audio and a streaming icon will appear in the display. The streamed sound can now be heard in your sound processor.

Start streaming on a 2nd or 3rd TV Streamer unit

See figure 7 7

If more than one TV Streamer device is available, you may press the streaming button [no. 3 in figure 7] on the Baha

Remote Control a 2nd or 3rd time, depending on which TV

Streamer device you want to listen to.

Up to 3 TV Streamer units are initially designated by the letters A, B or C and the streaming device in use is shown on the Baha Remote Control display. If you do not have a Baha

Remote Control, press and hold the button on the sound processor for about 3 seconds a 2nd or 3rd time to access the

2nd or 3rd streaming unit.

Stop streaming

Briefly press the button on either sound processor. This will cancel streaming on the side pressed and return to the most recently used program.

With the Baha Remote Control (optional), simply press the

“P” button [no. 2 in figure 7], located in the centre of the keypad. This will return the sound processors to the most recently used program. You may also press the home button

[no. 1 in figure 7] to return to your default settings. If you are using the telephone with the Cochlear Wireless Phone

Clip **** (optional), streaming from the TV Streamer will be temporarily interrupted. When you have ended your phone call, streaming will resume.

Note! Your TV Streamer’s range is approximately 7 meters.

If you move out of range and move back into range within 5 minutes, your sound processors will automatically reconnect and continue streaming.

Controls

Volume control

The TV Streamer is designed to provide a comfortable listening level from the moment it is activated. However, for some devices or listening environments, it may be desirable to adjust the listening volume and doing so can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Keep in mind that volume adjustments on the TV Streamer apply to the streamed signal only, not to the volume of normal environmental sounds. Use the “+” and “-” keys [no. 7 and 8 in figure 1] to adjust volume to a comfortable level. Make sure that your sound processors are comfortably adjusted before you change the settings with the volume control. In most cases this adjustment should only be made once since the TV Streamer will store the most recently set volume level. Use the Baha Remote Control 2

(optional) to adjust both the streaming volume level and the sound processor microphone volume level. Ask your hearing care professional for more information about this accessory.

The volume can, in some cases, be further adjusted at the signal source, for example by turning the TV volume down.

This will adjust the volume of the streamed sound transmitted wirelessly to the sound processors. Adjusting the TV volume will affect the listening volume in the room as well.

Adjusting sound processor and streaming volume is only possible with the Cochlear Baha Remote Control and Cochlear

Baha Sound Processor.

Mono/stereo control

The two-position switch [no. 3 in figure 1] may be used to set Stereo (two channels) or Mono (one channel) audio streaming. For binaural fittings, the switch should preferably be set to the Stereo position. For monaural fitting it should be set to the Mono position.

Adjustable delay mode

In rare cases there may be a misalignment between the audio streamed to the sound processors and the sound coming from the TV speakers (echo) or even a misalignment between the streamed audio and the TV picture (lip-sync). This may be evident in more complex audio setups where the TV Streamer is not connected directly to the TV (e.g. through a set-top box or other auxiliary unit). To overcome such misalignments the streaming delay from the TV Streamer can be adjusted as follows:

1. Make sure that the TV Streamer is turned on and that your sound processors are receiving the streamed audio.

2. Press and hold the pairing button [no. 2 in figure 1] for 3 seconds. The TV Streamer will then enter the adjustable delay mode where the green indicator light on the front of the TV Streamer will flash once every 2 seconds. The yellow indicator light will be on whenever an audio signal is present.

3. Use the “+” and “-” key [no. 7 and 8 in figure 1] on the top of the TV Streamer to increase or decrease the delay of the streamed signal in 10-ms steps. The streamed signal can be delayed in the range of 0-250 ms.

4. When the optimal alignment between the audio streamed to the sound processors and the sound coming from the

TV speakers or alignment between the streamed audio and the TV picture has been reached, press and hold the paring button for 3 seconds. Now the TV Streamer will resume normal operation, indicated by the green indicator light being constantly on.

The offset set in adjustable delay mode will be stored in the

TV Streamer. If you do not exit the adjustable delay mode by pressing and holding the pairing button for 3 seconds, the TV

Streamer will automatically resume normal operation after

30 minutes. To reset the delay to 0 ms (factory setting), press and hold the pairing button while simultaneously powering on the TV Streamer.
