If you were able to hear the test melody from TVLink II
but you cannot hear the sound from the TV, there is a
problem with the cable connection.
* Ensure the audio cable is completely plugged in.
* Ensure you connected the cable to an OUTput and
not an INput.
* Try a different cable.
* Try a different output socket of the TV.
The basestation main indicator light gives information
during test mode.
The colors alternate to indicate the audio input status
as well as the connection status to the streamer.
