Before You Start: Turn on the Opera transmitter and headphones. Play a TV channel or video with sound.
Step 1 – Check the Headphone Connection

Opera – Pair & Lock Guide →Step 2 – Check the TV Audio Cable
- Make sure the audio cable is firmly connected at both ends.
- Connect the TV's audio OUT to the transmitter's INPUT FROM TV, not its bypass output.
- Set the transmitter input switch to OPT for Optical or AUX for AUX/RCA.
Note: The MIC position is for the transmitter's microphone mode, not a direct TV audio cable connection.
Step 3 – Check TV Audio Settings
Open the connection you are using:
Optical Cable
- Connect TV Optical OUT to transmitter OPT IN.
- Set TV Sound Output to Optical / Digital Audio Out.
- Set Digital Audio Format to PCM / Stereo.
- Set the transmitter input switch to OPT.
AUX / 3.5 mm
- Connect TV Headphone / Audio OUT to transmitter AUX IN.
- Set TV Sound Output to Headphones Out, if available.
- Increase the TV volume.
- Set the transmitter input switch to AUX.
Red / White RCA
- Connect the TV's red and white Audio OUT ports to the transmitter's AUX IN using an RCA-to-3.5 mm cable.
- Make sure the TV ports are labeled OUT, not IN.
- Set the transmitter input switch to AUX.
Step 4 – Check the TV Audio Signal
While the TV is playing, check the transmitter's white audio signal indicator.
Solid White (Steady) – TV audio detected.
Flashing White – No valid audio signal detected. Check the cable, TV sound output, and PCM setting if using Optical.
Step 5 – Check the Volume and Mute
- Increase the headphone volume using Volume +.
- Set the headphone Mute switch to Unmute.
- If the headphone mute indicator is orange, the sound is muted. Switch it to Unmute.
- Try another TV channel or video.
No Sound on Certain Apps or Cable Box?
If regular TV sound works, set the TV or streaming device's digital audio format to PCM / Stereo.
Cable Box Audio Settings →Still No Sound? Restart

- Reconnect the TV audio cable firmly.
- Turn on the transmitter, then the headphones.
- Wait for the solid blue connection light, then test again.
