Got it — Start setupRecommended kit setup
Four steps. One clear result.
Follow each step in order. We show what to do, what to look for, and how to fix it.
Step 1
Power the transmitter.
Place it near the TV. Keep the audio cable loose, not stretched.
Connect power
- Connect USB-C to the transmitter.
- Connect USB-A to a 5 V, 500 mA–2 A power source.
✓
Expected: the transmitter turns on. The audio-signal light may blink until the TV sends sound.
No light? Reconnect both cable ends. Then try another USB power source.
Step 2
Choose one TV audio output.
Look at the labels on the back or side of the TV, then choose the matching path.
Using a soundbar? Complete headphone setup first. Optical and AUX pass-through are covered later; HDMI ARC soundbars cannot share the ARC port directly.
Which TV output do you have?
Tap a connection to reveal its cable, switch position, and next setting.
Connect with Optical
- Remove the protective caps from both cable ends.
- Connect TV OPTICAL / DIGITAL AUDIO OUT to transmitter OPT IN.
- Set the transmitter Input Selector to OPT.
Next: set the TV sound output to Optical/External Speaker and Digital Audio Format to PCM.
Connect with HDMI ARC
- Use the TV port specifically labeled HDMI ARC or eARC.
- Connect that port to the transmitter HDMI ARC input.
- Set the transmitter Input Selector to HDMI ARC.
Next: select HDMI ARC/Receiver as the TV sound output, turn eARC off, and set Digital Audio Format to PCM.
Connect with AUX / 3.5 mm
- Connect TV HEADPHONES / AUDIO OUT to transmitter AUX IN.
- Set the transmitter Input Selector to AUX.
- Set TV sound output to Headphones and raise TV volume to a normal level.
Next: play a program with speech; PCM is normally not required for analog AUX.
Step 3
Set the TV audio output.
Use your TV remote. Then match the settings to your cable.

✓
Success: the headphone LED is solid blue and TV sound plays.
Connect to the transmitter

Flashing blue or no sound? Confirm the transmitter is on, then power-cycle both devices nearby.
TV Bluetooth setup
Connect the headphones directly to a Bluetooth TV.
This bypasses the Opera Plus transmitter. Bluetooth TV audio may have more lip-sync delay and does not use the transmitter’s Volume Boost.
Turn off the transmitter
Start Bluetooth pairing
Slide the headphone switch to Bluetooth / Phone. If red and blue do not flash, hold the pairing button for 3 seconds.
Select Opera Plus
On the TV, open Settings → Sound → Bluetooth speaker list and select Opera Plus.
Confirm solid blue
Solid blue means the Bluetooth connection is ready.

🔇Joined, but no TV sound
- Check the cable: use a TV audio OUT port and match the transmitter selector to HDMI ARC, OPT, or AUX.
- Check the transmitter: a solid Audio Signal light means usable TV audio is arriving. If it blinks, correct the cable or TV settings first.
- Check the TV: for Optical/HDMI ARC choose the matching Sound Output and set Digital Audio Format to PCM; for HDMI ARC also turn eARC off.
- Check volume: raise the TV volume for AUX, then raise the headphone volume and try Voice Clear 1 or 2.
- Restart: turn the transmitter OFF, then ON.
Expected: the Audio Signal light is solid and spoken dialogue plays. Still silent? Reopen Step 2 and follow the matching connection path from the beginning.
