Putting the Flex 5000 into operation
Setting up the transmitter
왘 Choose a suitable place near your sound source.
왘 Separate the transmitter from other wireless devices in the
room by at least 50 cm/20” to avoid interference.
왘 Do not place the transmitter close to metal objects such as
shelf bars, reinforced concrete walls, etc. as this can
decrease the transmitter’s range.
Connecting the transmitter to an audio source
You can connect the transmitter either to a digital or an
analog audio source (e.g. a TV and a stereo hi-fi system).
If you connect an audio source to both inputs (digital and
analog), only the analog audio source will be reproduced.
You can also refer to the beginner’s video guides on how
to connect your digital wireless headphone system to a
TV: www.sennheiser.com/how-to-videos.
왘 Switch your audio sources off before connecting the trans-
mitter.
왘 Check the connection possibilities of your audio source
(audio output, usually marked “OUT”).
왘 Select the corresponding connection cable and, if neces-
sary, a suitable adapter
왘 To connect the transmitter to your audio source, refer to
the connection diagram suitable for your audio source (see
the following chapters). Follow the color codings on the
transmitter and on the cables.
