Getting Started

3. Turn on your TV and set the audio format to PCM if using the optical output. Note: Dolby DTS is not supported.
4. Power on the headphones by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds.
5. The headphones and transmitter will automatically connect to each other. The LED indicators on both devices will turn solid blue once connected.
6. Adjust the volume and EQ mode on the headphones as desired.

Using the Bypass Function

If your TV has only one optical output and it is currently used by your soundbar, you can use the bypass function to enjoy TV audio via Bluetooth headphones and a wired speaker simultaneously with independent volume control.

1. Connect the TV's optical output to the transmitter/charging dock's OPTICAL IN port using the optical audio cable.
2. Connect the soundbar to the transmitter/charging dock's OPTICAL OUT port using another optical audio cable (not included).
3. Turn on the bypass function by pressing the BYPASS button on the transmitter/charging dock.

Pairing Headphones with Other Devices

The headphones can be used independently as a regular Bluetooth headphone. To pair them with another device:

1. Turn off the headphones and transmitter/charging dock.
2. Press and hold the power button on the headphones for 5 seconds until the LED indicator flashes red and blue.
3. Enable Bluetooth on your device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC, or another TV with Bluetooth) and search for nearby devices.
4. Select "AS90C" from the list of available devices to connect.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If the headphones and transmitter are not connecting, try turning both devices off and on again.
• If you experience audio lag, make sure your TV's audio format is set to PCM when using the optical output.
• If the audio is not clear or there is no sound, check the audio cable connections and ensure the TV's audio output is functional.
• If the headphones are not charging, ensure the power cable is securely connected to the transmitter/charging dock and the power outlet.
