FAQ
Which country adapters are supplied with the RS 195?
The RS 195 is supplied complete with a power supply unit with plug adapters for Europe, the UK, the USA and Australia.
How do I best connect the transmitter to my audio device?
How can I connect the transmitter to my AV receiver?
I have several wireless devices at home (e.g WIFI router, cordless phone); will they interfere with my wireless headphone system?
The headphone system uses automatic frequency management to ensure the best possible radio transmission for the RS 175 and optimum co-existence with other wireless devices within its vicinity.
Can I use several wireless headphone systems in close proximity?
Yes, you can use several wireless headphone systems in parallel (minimum distance between two systems: 0.5 m). What matters is that the headphones/receiver and the transmitter are paired with each other and connected.
Which rechargeable batteries can be used to operate the headphones?
The RS 195 headphone system is supplied complete with high-quality low self-discharge rechargeable batteries (AAA size, 1.2 V, 820 mAh). You can also use non-rechargeable AAA batteries. Note that if you are using non-rechargeable batteries, you must not place the headphones on the charging contacts of the transmitter’s headphone holder.
Why does the first charging cycle of the rechargeable batteries take longer?
The first charging cycle takes longer (up to 16 hours) because it is used to determine the maximum capacity of the rechargeable batteries. The intelligent battery charging technology charges the rechargeable batteries both effectively and gently. After initial charging, a complete charging cycle takes up to 8.5 hours. During charging, the Charge status LED on the transmitter lights up red. When the rechargeable batteries are fully charged, the Charge status LED lights up green.
Which input formats are supported by the digital optical audio input?
The wireless headphone system supports “PCM” or “stereo” audio signals. Surround sound formats are not supported. If an audio device/TV is connected to the digital optical input of the transmitter, set the audio format of the connected device to “PCM” or “stereo” by using the sound menu of the device.
Why are my TV’s internal loudspeakers muted when I connect the wireless headphone system using the analog cable?
Can I use several headphones/receivers with one RS 195 transmitter?
You can connect an additional pair of headphones to the transmitter of the RS 195 and use two pairs of headphones simultaneously. In this case, however, you cannot use the “personal hearing “ function of the RS 195. The transmitter of the RS 195 has been specially designed for use with HDR 195 headphones. Other headphones of the RS 195 series should not be used with the transmitter, as they have quite different sound characteristics.
How can I personalise the sound of the RS 195 headphone system?
Why is there reverb/echo when using the headphones with my TV?
What can I do if the volume is very low?
This should only be the case if the RS 195 transmitter is connected to the (analog) headphone socket of your TV/audio device. In this case, make sure that the volume of your TV/audio device or the volume of the headphone socket on your TV/audio device is adjusted to at least a medium level.
Are there special instructions for battery maintenance?
No, the transmitter’s intelligent battery charging technology ensures that the rechargeable batteries are always charged to their optimum capacity and the battery life span is maximized. When not using the wireless headphone system for extended periods of time (several months), it is recommended that you remove the rechargeable batteries and store them in a dry place at room temperature.
What does the flashing of the transmitters charge status LED mean?
Charge status LED flashes | Operating time | Capacity |
1 x green | up to 4 hours | 0-25 % |
2 x green | approx. 4 to 9 hours | 25-50 % |
3 x green | approx. 9 to 14 hours | 50-75 % |
4 x green | approx. 14 to 18 hours | 75-100 % |
