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:
Mini-jack adaptor:

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.
