HT380 – How to Use the Sound Modes

Adjust the sound mode and choose Mono or Stereo listening.

Change the Sound Mode

Press the MODE button on top of the transmitter dock. Each press changes to the next sound mode.

BASS solid YELLOW = More bass

TREBLE solid YELLOW = Clearer higher sounds

BALANCED solid YELLOW = Balanced sound

No mode light = Default / Flat sound

Try each mode and use the one that sounds most comfortable to you.

Choose Mono or Stereo

Use the MONO / STEREO switch on the back of the transmitter dock.

MONO: The same sound plays through both sides. This can help if you hear better in one ear.

STEREO: Left and right sounds can be different. This is the normal setting for TV, movies, and music.

If you are unsure which to use, start with STEREO.

Something Doesn’t Look Right?

One Side Is Louder Than the Other

Switch to MONO so the same audio plays through both sides. You can also check the receiver’s left / right balance control.

TV Remote Does Not Change the Volume

This is normal when using an Optical connection. Use the volume wheel on the HT380 receiver instead.

1.1 Bass / Treble / Balanced

The HT380 supports 4 different sound modes.

The LED indicators labeled "Modes" on the front of the transmitter dock can be used to tell which mode your device is currently under.

To switch between modes, simply press the "MODE" Button located on the top of the transmitter dock.

Bass Mode - The LED indicator labeled "BASS" lights up and stays SOLID YELLOW.
Treble Mode - The LED indicator labeled "TREBLE" lights up and stays SOLID YELLOW.
Balanced Mode - The LED indicator labeled "BALANCED" lights up and stays SOLID YELLOW.
Default (Flat) Mode - None of the Mode LED indicators would light up.

1.2 Mono / Stereo

The HT380 supports both Monoaural Sound Mode and Stereophonic Sound Mode.

You may use the Mono/Stereo Switch on the back of the transmitter dock to switch between the two modes.

What's the Difference?

Mono sound mode would produce the same exact sound through both earbuds. For instance, if you're listening to something with a violin and a piano, the melody produced by both instruments will come through both earbuds simultaneously.

On the other hand, stereo sound mode allows the melody of each instrument to each come through a different earbud; for instance, violin from the left, and piano from the right... they'll combine together when you hear them through your own ears, producing a stereo-like effect.
