Connecting audio sources

Connecting an audio source

Connect your audio source/s to any of the two 3.5mm inputs located on the rear side.

• For microphones, primarily use the le input socket marked Mic/Line.

• For other audio sources, primarily use the right input socket marked Line.

• If you have two microphones or two audio sources, simply connect the second source to the other input.

Note: if you are unsure or displeased with the audio quality, try to connect your audio source to the other input socket as may improve the result. You will not harm the equipment by doing so. Use an adaptor if your audio source does not have a 3.5mm connector.

Flat screen TV connection

When connecting a loop ampliﬁer to a ﬂat screen TV, there might be a slight delay between the sound from the TV’s speakers and the audio signal from the TV’s SCART/audio output. To avoid the echo eﬀect that sometimes occur due to this time diﬀerence, you need to delay the sound in the loop to match the sound from the speakers. If this is the case with your TV, use Univox® TV Sync. Connect the audio source to the TV Sync’s 3.5mm input socket or to the SCART socket. Then connect the TV Sync’s 3.5mm connector to AutoLoop’s Line input socket.

Connecting the loop

Connecting the Room loop wire

Pull out the loop wire (0.75mm²) and circle the listening area. Attach the wire at ﬂoor level or ceiling height (about 2.4m / 8). The room loop wire roll includes 50 fastening clips. Other means of fastening the wire may be used as well. Connect the ends of the wire to the spring clip terminal which is the le of the two connectors marked Loop on the ampliﬁers rear side.

Connecting the Loop pad or Sofa loop

Place the loop pad on your seat, either on top of or under the cushion. The Sofa loop is placed around the sofa on the ﬂoor, for example under a carpet. Make sure that you place the lead cable in such a way that nobody gets tangled in it. Connect the loop pad’s /sofa loop’s DIN connector to the DIN socket of the ampliﬁers rear side.

Mains power connection

First connect the power adaptor to the socket marked on the ampliﬁer. Then connect the adaptor to the power outlet.

Settings

Univox® AutoLoop is fully automatic. No settings are needed.

Maintenance

Under normal circumstances Univox® loop ampliﬁers do not need any special maintenance. Should the unit become dirty, wipe the unit with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvent or heavy cleaning agents.

Trouble-shooting

If the loop ampliﬁer does not perform satisfactory, check the following:

• First make sure that your hearing instrument is in T-position and that mains power is connected to the loop ampliﬁer.

• Is the “Active indicator” lit? If not, is the audio source connected and transmitting a signal? If the audio source is connected and transmitting a signal and the “active indicator” is still not lit, the ampliﬁer is not working properly and you may proceed to the Service section of this manual.

• If the “Active indicator” is lit, but you still can not receive a signal in your hearing instrument, the loop pad/sofa loop/loop wire is either not connected or faulty. Make sure that it is connected properly.
