Hint: If your VCR (or other audio source with RCA jacks) only has a single
audio output, you will need another RCA “Y” cable. It differs from the “Y”
Cable Adapter included with this speaker. It will have a single male RCA
plug and 2 female RCA jacks. Connect the dual RCA plugs from the
included “Y” cable adapter to the 2 female RCA jacks on the second “Y”
cable, and then connect the single male RCA plug of the second “Y” cable
to the single audio output of the VCR.
ii. About Variable-Level Audio Outputs:
A variable-level output, such as a headphone jack or certain RCA-type outputs,
provides an audio signal that changes with the volume level set on the audio
source. As the volume of the audio source is adjusted up and down, so is
the audio signal strength sent to the transmitter. This can affect the quality
of sound generated by the speaker, and may require an adjustment of the
volume level of the audio source to produce a signal strong enough for the
transmitter.
Hint: On most bookshelf-type or compact stereo systems, inserting a
headphone plug into the headphone jack results in automatic cutoff of the
regular, or hard-wired speakers.
Hint: Most TVs, regardless of age or price, have variable outputs. If you
are unsure which of your TV audio outputs is fixed, refer to the TV
instruction manual. Some TVs have outputs that can switch between
variable and fixed. When given a choice, fixed is always recommended.
